At Back To School Night, the teacher said to let her know if the homework is taking too long/impacting family time & she will try to work with us. I do know some parents who have sent notes that the homework time was being limited to X time (like 30 minutes)...I have never done this, but would if it became a problem. I have found that the year/teacher/who my kids are at that point all plays in to how the school/homework scene goes. My oldest is almost 11 & is in 6th grade (yikes) and he is being amazingly independent in doing his work.<BR/>I was homeschooled until 4th (for practical reasons only) but I think my parents were great at the "unschooling" idea of making almost anything into a lesson/learning opportunity & I try to do the same.DoulaMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436946151898233317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472837978868985189.post-65526165569205070082008-09-24T04:38:00.000-07:002008-09-24T04:38:00.000-07:00I hear ya there.

My DS (2nd grade) is getting homework but only 1 or 2 sheets per night, plus he needs to read for about 15 /mins per night. <BR/><BR/>I think 7 pages is waaaaaay too much, and I don't always think homework is necessary at all! I don't believe (as some do) that homework is the sign of a "good school" necessarily, or that homework should be given in KINDERGARTEN (pet peeve of mine!!)<BR/><BR/>LaurieLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324872552742998378noreply@blogger.com
