To the members of this listserv, I wanted to know your opinion on homework. Do you think that teachers today give to much homework to children? YES Do you think that it is good to have children doing homeowrk for 2-3 hours everynight, having parents hurrying them up or doing it for them so they can get to bed on time and have their homework done? No, no, no. I really think that teachers need to communicate more on what they are assigning but this is so difficult because our schedules are so tight and there is no time for teacher discussions. It is a major problem We are finding that kids just aren't doing it. I am fortunate to have a job that I do not have to assign homework...it is wonderful but the problem still remains for content teachers. We are mandated to assign it, the kids don't do it, the parents don't really seem to support the process, so what to do???
