I'm not smart enough to know the awsenr either. But, at our house, I set the timer for 10 minutes for each grade of school. Marissa did that much homework. Period. So, in fifth grade when she was sent several pages of math work home for weeks and weeks in a row, she could do 50 minutes of homework a night. She actually did two sets of 25 minutes. Then I signed the homework and explained that we could not finish any more work. Marissa had responsibilities at home and she needed time to be a kid. The teachers were not amused. My other thought. The summer between fifth and sixth grade, I asked the school to allow Marissa to participate in the summer school program. She was doing horribly on math. She failed every test. She didn't qualify. Her math average was too high. Every night I helped her with her homework. We wrote out the steps she needed to do to complete a problem. Put her questions on graph paper so she could better line up her ones, tens, etc. and I asked her over and over, "What's your next step?" Since her grade was an average of homework and tests, her grades were too high. So, Marissa couldn't get extra help because I was already doing it at home. And, you see, if I am going to have to teach her math, I want to do it during the day when her brain is well rested and performing at its peak. Not at night when she is tired. One of the reasons I home school ~
