Homework

How much homework does your grade school child have each night? My 6th grader, depending on the night, can have up to an hour and a half of homework. That doesn't look like that will change any time soon because we are in the Shen school district. For those in the Niskayuna district, you can expect to see a decrease in the time, depending on the grade come the beginning of 2019.

I'll admit, I was a nerdy kid in school, I loved homework. Math homework was like a giant logic puzzle to me, Spanish was a way to learn a language I could speak that my Mother couldn't and Science was a way to look at the world differently than usual. Apparently, though, homework these days is worse than I remember and a mom decided to do something about it.
