She is a 6th grade student in an excellent Charter School. Her individual teachers assign her 20 -30 minute homework assignments which add up to well over an 1 1/2 of homework when combined. On weekends she is doing about 2 hours plus another 2 on a year long project they were each assigned.
She is very studious and does her work, but I am worried about her burning out. She should really enjoy the time she has now because we all know it doesn't get any easier as you grow up.
At the year end conference, I was going to bring this up to the teacher, but I don't want to sound like a typical complaining parent. In my opinion, they should not have homework on the weekend until atleast 9th grade. They need to time to just be kids.
And as every parent knows, when the kids have homework and projects - it means I have homework and projects. There are other things educational that I would like to do than what is being thrown on them.
