Often they don't know how long homework takes without a lot of feedback. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040824813209082919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-12592730762186790702007-09-06T12:53:00.000-05:002007-09-06T12:53:00.000-05:00Definitely talk to the teachers, as Ms Kitty sugge...Definitely talk to the teachers, as Ms Kitty suggests.

Many of them said, if they are spending more than an hour (more than a half hour, really) on homework, give us a call. My girls have not been invited into the honors track yet, and when I ask if they'd like to be, they say "no way, those kids have too much homework." While I wish they were challenged more, I really think there ought to be a middle road between too little and too much. I'm prayin' for ya all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-52020485030015303942007-09-06T08:56:00.000-05:002007-09-06T08:56:00.000-05:00Can you talk to his teachers, LE?
