Perhaps if they were to spend less time logging onto Facebook to forward declarative chest beating posts they view as witty and charming, it would free up some of that 4 hours to actually bond with their kids instead of tryng to bond with 80% of their high school class they havent seen in 10 years.

I had, on average, at least 1.5 hours of homework during middle school and high school
This seems like a lot. I feel like I did the vast majority of my middle school homework in the 20 minutes I was at school before class started.

Homework is important, but they also seem to issue far too much of it these days.
It’s always been that way. Every teacher gives 30min of homework. If you have 6 classes that’s 3 hours. Plus after school sports and studying for tests. It’s way too much for most kids and sets them up for failure.

hour plus of homework.
Never did homework after maybe 4th grade.
Graduated high school with honors, never took my booksack out of my car.
Graduated college with first degree and a 2.00175ish GPA.
Close enough to failing that I had to explain why it was so low. Second degree 4.0. Turns out going to class matters sometimes.
I look forward to teaching my son... Mainly about the level of responsibility and commitment it takes to complete boring nonsensical bullshite.

My kids only have homework if they don’t work efficiently at school….8th & 6th grade
My Son is an “AP Scholar with Distinction” (passed 5 AP exams with 3 or better, with an average of 3.5 or higher). He’s a current Senior taking 5 more AP (Chem, Calc BC, Lit, Macro & Micro Econ). He’s never had any grade lower than an A.
He rarely has homework, he does self study when he has an upcoming exam. When I ask him about it he says “got it done at school”. I assume he did based on the grades for last 11 years. It was different in middle school, where they seemed to have lots of “busy work” to do at night.
I’m glad he doesn’t spend his evenings doing nothing but homework. He has a job (couple of nights a week) and hangs with his friends or doing some FFA activity on occasion. By the time they are 16/17 there are other lessons/skills that can’t be learned if they are head down in a book all night.

Do their kids sleep for 12 hours? Need to go back to school to learn how many hours there are in a day.
You are not accounting for the time they are out of school, but the parent hasn't made it home from work. Everyone's scenario is different but I would say my situation is relatively normal and that would mean kids get out of class around 2:45 and first parent home at 5:30.
There's 2:45 of missed time.
Additionally kids wake up at 5:30 eat, get ready for school, and commute. They start first class at around 7:30
There's another 2 hours of missed time.
So, NO, students are NOT sleeping 12 hours a day.

My opnion is that SOMEONE has to pick up my garbage. Better thier kids than mine.

When my kids were in high school most teachers gave a few minutes to start on homework. My kids were able to complete their work and almost never had any to do at home. A lot of the kids goofed off and socialized and ended up having to do homework.

They should rewrite it Chinese or Hindi for the dumbasses. Dumb people write dumb statements.
Went to a private school. Had at least 2 hours every night after getting home from practice and that's with some intense classwork.
Other countries laugh at our education system and where it's going.

We need to replace memorization and teaching to the test with a primary emphasis on critical thinking skills.
I agree 100%. As a social studies teacher, the “how” and “why” questions are much more important to me than the “who, what, and where” questions.

I kind of liked being involved in their education.
It’s not like I could sit in the classroom, so going over homework was a big part of being involved daily. I did dislike assignments being due on a Monday and Monday tests.
Do the parents posting this also keep kids away from social media, TV, and video games during this time to teach kids life schools and have family time? Or is family time just sitting in same room (or house) constantly staring at phones while a tv show plays in background?

No idea where I'll be in my relationship after my gf and I graduate.
But we have spoken a little about raising kids, and one thing we agree on; homeschool. There's some new like co-op things to keep the kids socialized. That and Church and sports.

We both know the answer to that in almost every case.

My kids are in all honors classes, never made a B, high standardized test scores, lots of extracurriculars and sports etc.
Studying for tests is one thing and can be important when needed, but homework is bullshite.

So here they do not over do it with the homework. My kids a Sr and barely has any. In fact they have off periods during the day when most kids get theirs done.
The argument about spending quality family time at my kids age is tough. He is so busy with after school activities, work, and his own friends that I hardly see him. I can understand this in younger families, but at this age kids do not have as much time for bonding as they used to. When we sit down to do things now it is college apps and preparing for the next phase of his life. Which I feel he is ready for.
And my parents never sat down with me with homework etc. They never expressed any interest in my academic life whatsoever. I broke that cycle with my kids.

I agree with the post to be honest. Have a 6 1/2 year old. Homework every night for a 1st grader.

get it, especially for lower elementary. When my kids were in 2nd-4th grade, it wasn’t uncommon to get home from work and have to help them with an hour plus of homework. I don’t get it for middle school and up. Parents sharing this seem to ignore the fact that some of their kids waste so much time in class that teachers have no choice but to have them complete it for homework. It could just be my anecdotal experience, but Americans seem to be growing less and less concerned about education.
I think that education is critically important, but also that our system is relatively broken with regards to connecting kids to important skills for success.
I understand someone feeling like you should draw a line somewhere if it’s not a great system overall. That said, I think the answer is a material overhaul in philosophy, not just walking away from putting in efforts.

Asian-Americans are the top-earning Census group, bringing home more money on average that even the white people, and Asian-American moms would definitely think that this is some bunk and bullshite advice.

Well, if you want your kids to go to have a good ACT score and go to college, they will need to be taking courses that require a good bit of homework. Not every kid is cut out for college however, which sounds like the case for the kids and parents referenced on this social media post.
