[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 91962"] I heard another study showing the same thing a couple of years ago. It hasn't affected our SD any, but it wasn't at all surprising to me. So much of their homework is just busy work. It really annoyed me and with difficult child's meltdowns I wouldn't make her do it. I especially hate the projects they make kids make. You see these 2nd graders walking in with their model of the Taj Ma Hal (sp?) and you know there is no way those kids made those. Mom or Dad did. I mean...why? Another time there was a solar system project. They made one in school. I know cause I observed that day. Then they were sent home with an assignment to make another one only this one required a purchase of styrofoam balls and other items. We didn't do that one. I sent a note to the teacher and asked her how many solar systems were the kids going to be required to make. No wonder they didn't like me much at the elementary school. [/QUOTE]
