It's amazing how much the bar has slid in many places to like right now where I struggle getting kids to do a single assignment per week in class. Much of what I end up seeing is only justified laziness or learned helplessness.. It says this ten year old is getting 3 hours a night of homework and that the child isn't struggling academically or behind the class. Three hours a night is too much.

Yes I am saying that's overkill. I hope when my kid is 10 he's not spending hours at night doing homework.

I'm on a salary and I rarely, if ever, do work outside my 40 hours a week.

litany of gulps posted:Teachers work approximately 40 hours a week in a building teaching, but the job doesn't end when the school bell rings to dismiss class. That's part of the job. This isn't really news to anyone, anywhere. Maybe you're a programmer and you work your 40, but when the deadline is near, you work as much as you need to work. Maybe you're a manager and someone calls in - it doesn't matter if you've put in your 40, you fill in the gap. Most jobs are like this. Do you recognize this as a basic fact of salaried pay? If so, what is the purpose of your anecdotal claim here? My point was my job doesn't require me to put in hours of work at home every night on a regular basis, so your argument of sending kids home with hours of homework every night to prepare them for "jobs and reality" isn't the best argument.

I work in IT. I have a masters degree. My experience may not be the norm but I think that expecting elementary school kids to do hours of homework a night should not be the norm either.
