[QUOTE="Tom in TN, post: 1053379, member: 14902"] Bigfoot, A few years ago, my wife retired from teaching after having spent 32 years teaching high school English, particularly Honors and Advanced Placement. We have always disagreed about homework. I don't believe there should be any. Kids in the area where we live ride a schoolbus for upwards of an hour to get to school. Then they fritter away some time waiting for all of the other kids to arrive so that school can be started. They do class work, breaks, lunch, and other stuff for 6 or 7 hours. They then ride an hour or so on the bus to get home. Kids are occupied with "school stuff" for 8 or 9 hours per day. And then teachers want them to work on a couple of hours of homework? They're kids! A forty hour work week ought to be enough. Schools are trying to get the kids to work for 50 or 60 hours per week including homework on nights and weekends. Like virtually everything else that the government touchs, it's ridiculous. Tom in TN [/QUOTE]
