YES AND NO ...

No - if they are allowed to work on it in study hall.

Yes - if they are going to come home and ask me to do it for them.

I don't know about that. Mine is headed for 7th grade next year, but last year, I don't think she had enough homework. But,it seemed like she'd get too many projects from too many classes ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!
When I was in school, it seemed like I had homework almost every night and had projects due after holidays.

im glad this subject was brought up

Yes we get to much homework
Maybe teachers think it is fun grading papers

My one teacher gave so much homework a night it was horrible
then i noticed he gave me full credit even on the ones i missed finds out u can get the wrong answer on every question and still get a 100% on the homework

It DOES get in the way. Teachers in "pod" systems should seriously coordinate to make sure they don't hammer the kids at once.

i beleive that to be true also...... our hs here is considered a jr college... kids have to pick a trade and start taking classes for it.... like my oldest picked teaching.... so she left campus during the day to be a teachers aide at the elementary school near by..... my youngest daughter picked law... and she had to go to court etc and do different things like they had trials etc... like a debate with another school that does the same thing...

So do you think the homework helped you in any way , or turned you off even more cause it looks loke they didn't really look at it?

That is so true. I also am afraid if it turns them off of school

I drive for 2 schools. The French Catholic school is the one where the kids have too much homework. The other one is public French school,those kids barely have any homework. Go figure.huh
