At Avery's old school homework was a nightmare...1st and 2nd grade he would have to write spelling words 5x each every night, 1-2 pages of math, full pages of handwriting and reading and phonics as well.
Thankfully now that he's in the public schools they don't send home as much...we read every night and Mondays and Tuesdays he has Math and Language and Thursdays usually science or SS but each assignment only takes between 10-15 minutes...plus we have to study 15-20 minutes each night for his weekly tests. No homework on Wednesdays except to read AR books and study if needed.
In all we don't spend over half an hour each night which is wonderful compared to the 1-3 hours it would take him at his old school.
