<p>10 year olds need to be kids. Inside or outside. </p>
<p>10 minutes of homework per grade is so simple and simply ridiculous.</p>
<p>Plodding through the politically correct homework allocation is shear mindless torture to the young mind numbling them to the inherent joys of learning.</p>
<p>My perspective is tainted by the past 4+ months. My son has not been in school due to a concussion. I now realize how little they learn in his school as he can basically keep pace with 2-3 hours of work in the home. The school day should be more efficient and when the school day is done, the child should be free to play or read or play an instrument or whatever they fancy.</p>
