I taught public school for 20 years and each year we were required to assign more homework, teach things that were not age appropriate, and were told if we didn't conform and have high testing kids we'd be fired. When I first started teaching it was in a low socioeconomic area. I didn't assign any homework, just what they didn't finish in class. My kids scored great on state tests. t was not a problem. Talk to your school board. It all comes from them!

Many Thanks....
Minimalist we all apreciate your comments, i hope that maybe, just maybe more people will leave comments here, and wake more people up to the fact that we are not without power, we all have a voice,and deserve to be heard, we owe alot to our childrens teachers, perhaps when we the genaral public develope a spine we will stand along side the teachers and make ourselves heard, and win better conditions for both teacher and pupil alike and once again kids may enjoye school, and teachers can once again enjoye teaching.....BARRIE

Homework for kids is insane! Six hours in school is long enough if the time is used wisely. There are other things in life just as valuable to a child's development like family life, sports, community service, and work experience that just can't fit in with all the homework. Then the schools think they have to "socialize" our kids and teach them morals. They should just stick to using those six hours to teach the basics and let us have a little family time to teach the morals.
