Although I didn't pull out my calculator before my initial comment, I think any reasonable person would understand that what I was saying was "there is no reason for elementary and middle school kids to come home with 3-4 hours of homework, two to three days a week". Now remember, rarely do kids get homework on Friday so we are putting it all into four nights. If an elementary kid has an hour or a half hour most nights, and then some projects (in some cases the parents are "required" to be involved in) is ok, but still most teaching should be done in School... The home time is for the values and education that parents want to give, that are not bothered with during the school day... |

That means doing their damn homework. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |
