That's why your kid needs more homework, so they won't be like you.

The problem is the crappy COMMON CORE CURRICULUM which is being forced to be taught in our schools. School time is being eaten up by frickin team-building exercises and team projects. The real work, the most valuable work, (basic reading, writing, arithmetic) is being left to the parents to teach to their kids via "homework assignments", with a little power point thrown in for good measure. I think most of what they are doing during actual school hours right now is time-wasteful. There needs to be more efficient teaching taking place on a basic factual curriculum instead of "social", "political", & "interpersonal" standards... Those things are what should be taught from home.

Oh, and they would have zero choice in the matter as well.
I am pushing 60 and looking back, I don't see how we did that other than the fact that we were kids and didn't know any better. These days no way in hell. I don't event bring work home from my job anymore. My time off work is my time. Thank God retirement will be here in four years.

well that is some straight up bs. Physical activity during recess and daily PE actually increases attention levels and energy levels. Plus it allows the kids to blow off some steam.

Forget the term "dumb jocks." According to the latest research, that's an oxymoron. New findings from biology and education research show that regular exercise benefits the brain in numerous ways.
Not only can regular workouts in the gym or on the playground improve attention span, memory, and learning, they can also reduce stress and the effects of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and even delay cognitive decline in old age. In short, staying in shape can make you smarter.

Memory retention and learning functions are all about brain cells actually changing, growing, and working better together," says John J. Ratey, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the author of Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. "Exercise creates the best environment for that process to occur."
Although researchers aren't exactly certain how exercise leads to better cognitive function, they are learning how it physically benefits the brain. For starters, aerobic exercise pumps more blood throughout the body, including to the brain. More blood means more oxygen and, therefore, better-nourished brain tissue.
Exercise also spurs the brain to produce more of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, which Ratey calls "Miracle-Gro for the brain." This powerful protein encourages brain cells to grow, interconnect, and communicate in new ways. Studies also suggest exercise plays a big part in the production of new brain cells, particularly in the dentate gyrus, a part of the brain heavily involved in learning and memory skills.

To the OP: you should really consider making an appointment with your child's teacher(s) and discuss it. You kid could be dicking off in class, struggling, or the teacher not realize that the workload is too much.

He needs to tell us why its ok that she does not start as soon as school is out.

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..
Did you not catch the part where i said my 15 year old son that went to the same school never had this kind of homework load and that my daughter now that she's in the 5th grade now has half the work load as the previous 2 years?

sounds like she needs an addy perscription

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.
The second option is the only realistic one. Parents shouldn't sacrifice extracurriculars for more time doing homework. Kids will get burnt out and do worse than they are now. Plus, like I said before, kids get much more out of extracurriculars than they do out of classwork - most of which is just memorization and regurgitation.

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.
You realize that i compared my work load to my sisters work load, which was the exact same as mine, yet it took her 10 times longer to do it than me?

just because your sister is retarded doesn't mean the OP's child is.

That's why i said maybe he should find out if its taking her classmates that long as well.

I'm facing the same shite that you show in your picture with my second grader. I'm pulling out my hair trying to teach him that retarded method when the normal way is quick and easy.

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,
i usually just copied it from someone in the morning. there is a lot that can be said about getting to school 15 min early.

They don't do homework there..?

4th and 5th graders should be able to get started and do the majority of their homework by themselves without mommy and daddy watching over their shoulder.

You don't have to put up with that system, there are other options available if you don't agree with the public school system's way of doing things.

Naps are for babies
Not really. A short nap actually benefits the mind and body. It's not a standard thing for me, but the occasion does occur infrequently that I feel like I need a nap when I get home from work. As you get older, you listen to what you body tells you. You find yourself a lot healthier and happier that way.

We are talking about 8 year old bodies, not your old arse.

Just as a side note. Don't blast your kid's teachers, school, or school system on social media. Everyone sees it including the folks you're blasting. All that does is weaken your position of concerned parent and puts you in the looney category.
