"two hours is too much for 1st grade
I think the educational association made a statement of 10 minutes per grade
10 min 1st grade- 20 minutes 2nd etc.
I would sit down with teacher and ask how long homework should take.
I can't imagine anyone assigning 2 hours of homework a night for 6 year olds, when are they supposed to sit like zombies in front of Sesame Street! ( I meant unwind )"
Which is why I wonder why some schools give too much. I had a lot of homework also. There were many parents who did not like the school systems here. Several of the pastors we have had at church over the years either hated the schools but had no choice to put their kids in them or refused to put their children in them and therefore their wives homeschooled their children. I seriously think that these kids had a lot more time to be kids--they could study for a few hours and then take breaks. In school, you have to be bored to death for 7+ hours straight basically, and some kids have to ride the school bus as much as 2 hours a day (one hour to school, one hour back home). I don't blame kids for being worn out after they get home. I was worn out too. The first thing I did was watch TV....
