[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 467067, member: 11791"] At this age, there should be NO homework. Period. Elementary? 10 minutes per WEEK, per grade... kindergarten being grade 0. So grade 3 would get half an hour of homework per week. That's not per day, that's per WEEK. It always drives me crazy that the kid has to be essentially failing in school, before these issues can even be looked at... and while we're waiting until things are "bad enough", all sorts of other issues get added that don't need to be there... like anxiety, and depression, and behavior issues. When kids are burning out at school, the worst thing you can do is add to that by trying to do school work at home. Home needs to be a place to recover, a place to do things that work, to expand basic non-academic skills... extra bike-riding practice? Shoe tieing? bed-making? Plus the fun but important stuff, like helping with things around the house (yes, cooking is fun) [/QUOTE]
