Schools these days...

This is such a relevant conversation. The other part of the homework equation is the parent help/involvement. My kids school doesn't give homework to the grammar school kids but, due to budget woes, has project day (no school) once a month; required homeschool. It is very tricky to accomplish with 3 different (big) projects in one day. My parents Never helped with homework, which might not have been the best solution either. These days the school/home expectations are out of whack, and the school days/weeks/years are shorter. And while I'm at it ... remember when we had P.E.?
