[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 101167, member: 3444"] Your district should have published standards for homework levels by grade, and if your child is not getting all classwork finished, then homework needs to be modified. AND the school needs to figure out WHY the child is unable to finish the classwork and find a solution. For example, in our district, my 5th grader is only expected to do an hour of homework a night. And that's regardless of whether he's a general ed. student or in an accelerated class. Now, this is not always realistic, because of his difficult child-ness and timing of medications, etc. I play it by ear, but I do have the authority to call it a night when I feel he has done enough and is on the verge of becoming overwhelmed or up past his bedtime. I simply send in a note or a quick e-mail to the teacher to know what happened. I've learned this through many tears and other forms of trial and error, made sure we had this understanding at his 504 review meeting at the start of the school year. So, to summarize, I'd say NO, your situation is NOT normal. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
