Home work

One thing that continually comes up in discussion each year is the amount of home work your child can expect.

For starters please keep this much in mind, it would be considered normal for students to have somewhere between 30 min and one hour of homework each night.

Sometimes this may be different. For instance if there is a big project being done in a class, the time may increase. Or if there was an assembly or some kind of disruption to the school day there may be less.

The length of homework will also depend on how well the student uses the class time they are given in each class. Often when a student has an excess of homework, it is discovered that they were given an opportunity in class to get a majority of the work done, however they did not use their time for that purpose, thus were left with more work to take home.

I hope this helps some. There is no set criteria for home work. Students can always bring home books to read, matertials to review etc. Planning one hour of homework every night except for Friday and Saturday night would be a good plan on both parents and students parts.
