A Little Homework Or Contributing To Burn-Out?
My daughter had homework tonight. Four hours worth. Is it me or is four hours of homework a little excessive?
She's twelve. And in the sixth grade!
Now, I realize that every night isn't comprised of a homework marathon for her, and I also recognize that she's asked for this heavier workload (she's in an accelerated learning program). Nevertheless, as one that is currently in his 24th year of schooling, I seriously hope she doesn't burn out. If I had the amount of school work that she has now when I was her age, I highly doubt that I would still be going to school.
I'm just sayin'.
