Too Much Homework
As I am typing, my headaches from working mini-algebra problems on my son's first grade homework. That's right! You heard me correct algebra problems in the first grade. He has pages and pages of homework every night! I cannot say how frustrated I am about this. It drives me so mad. A homework packet, pages of daily homework, ten spellings words (with a bonus word that most adults cannot pass). I get so frazzled sometimes. I know my son believes that I am a little looney when it comes to his homework. From waking him up early or doing homework on the way to school, I really dread looking in his homework binder to see the mounds of homework, awaiting me to conquer. I didn't understand the 10 minute homework rule at the school I work at. Now I understand completely. If the work cannot be completed in 10 mins, exactly what is the point. I just hope my son doesn't become burned out on homework!

First of all, I L.O.V.E. your new look on your blog. It is gorgeous.
On the homework... they are definitely starting things way earlier than they ever did with us, but the homework load is absolutely ridiculous.
I love the new look too. I hear you on the amount of homework. My daughter is also in 1st grade and she has test every week. So, aside from the regular homework, we have to study for the tests. I get looney too, you are in good company :-)
