Too much homework?
A new study came out that shows anecdotal evidence that kids today get too much homework may be overexaggerated. What do you guys think? Could it be our kids just complain more or have such trouble staying on task that it seems to take them longer? Could the results be false--maybe those surveyed weren't being truthful? Could it be that our kids are involved in too many structured after-school activities so they're too tired to do homework at night--making it seem like forever to us parents who must light a fire under them every day? Could it be that kids do some homework, take a break, do more homework, take a break, etc. so that it seems like more hours are spent on the work than in reality? Give me your feedback. My kids generally have 1.5 hours of work a day.
