There are a lot of pressures on educators to get everything in and balance the expectations from school board and parents...My family knows first hand. My wife is a teacher.
However, sometimes it can seem after all you do in a day and with all the activites after school, you come home and your kids still homework to do! Or when you pick them up, their backpack weighs 400 pounds, and is loaded with all their books.
I gotta admit that I was shocked when I read this...BUT...The nation's leader on homework research says that Elementary school students get no academic benefit from homework -- except reading -- For High school students there is no academic benefit after two hours a night; for middle-schoolers, 1 1/2 hours.
