apparently you were likely at the high end of the 10 minutes.

my mom assumed i never had homework or tests b/c she rarely ever saw me doing it, yet i made mostly A's.
My sister, who went to the same school, spent hours doing homework and studying everyday with my mom.
It's not the workload, it's the student.
My mom would ask me all the time if i did my homework. I'd do it at school, or waiting for the bus after school, or on the bus ride home, that way i could go play outside the second i got home. I'd rarely have to sit at my desk at home to do homework.

Well that is just sad. Kids that age deserve playtime.

What about extracurriculars? Kids learn more important lessons there than they do in the classroom.

How long would America put up with a system where adults had to leave for work at 6:30, spend all day at a job where they had little freedom of movement or communication, had to eat whatever "the system" decided to feed them, work for whatever crappy boss the system gave them, etc, get home at 4 and them work for hours on stuff the employer couldn't fit in their regular day? Oh, and they would have zero choice in the matter as well.

If not,every bit of your take on the reason your sister had more homework than you is bogus.

My daughter is in 4th and we have this same issue. She is a strait A student and cries at night because she becomes frustrated with the material.
Its not so much the quantity of material, but its the new common core crap that takes so long to figure out!
I'm getting tired of this bullshite.

Some say P.E. Is enough, my complaint was P.E. had structure, they have structure all day. They need time to run around and be themselves for a bit.

you realize his point is that they give a lot more homework NOWADAYS compared to when he was in school?
comparing his child's workload to your personal workload is, at the minimum, half-retarded.

it seems like you're pointin gthe OP towards a direction this thread doesn't need to go.
He needs to tell us why its ok that she does not start as soon as school is out...What does she do that makes her so tired..If given a chance to take a nap, why is homework not priority one, then just go to bed early

I stand by my assessment because i had to go through it for the last 2 years. My 15 year old son never had that kind of load and now this year my daughter is relieved of it as well.
I have three children in school, at different grade levels..My wife works in the system, and deals with the children who as mentioned before, get pulled from recess to be given assessments based on needs..
YES, the system has changed since we were in school, but the fact remains that if you as a parent continue to blame the teacher and assume they are giving too much work, you already know there is a deeper issue

Regardless of when she starts. 4 hours of homework is absurd for 4th grade. My kid is in second and we probably spend about an hour a night.
As for starting at 5:30 if both parents work that is pretty standard. My kid starts around 5:30 because that's when we get home.

Yeah but if she is staying up until 10 every night to do homework...either the extra stuff needs to take a backseat for now...or OP needs to go talk to the teacher about the amount of homework.
Really...OP just needs to talk to the teacher no matter what.

Very short recesses, 8 minutes long and like I said P.E. isn't everyday and kids get pulled from it if they have to go to "Specials". The arts are rarely available as well.
When so much relies on standardized tests, the things that will help a kid truly develop as a person are seen as frivolous.

I can only base my response off the OP
4 hours of homework is too goddamn much

Naps are for babies. 4th graders don't need to be taking a nap in the middle of the day.
What is she doing from 315-445? Is she in aftercare? Shouldn't she be doing homework?
4th grade homework shouldn't take 4 hours to compete. Maybe your daughter is a little slow. Possibly you should look into a resource program at your school.

this is why it took me 5 minutes a day to do homework and it took you hours.
Where did i say she had more homework?
She was a year behind me, had the same teachers, very likely the same exact homework load as i did.
I took me 5 minutes a day to do mine, she took hours.
I made A's, she made C's.
If your kid is taking hours to do homework, it's not the homework, it's the kid. You think every 4th grader in the OP's kid's class is taking hours to do homework? He should ask around, and if they are, then there should be something done about it, but i'd bet that a bunch of the kids are taking 30 minutes max to do the same work.

This could be the problem too. And they don't send home books are any material anymore for the parents figure out how to assist their kids with their homework. It's so damn frustrating.
