Hell, AmyLiz, that sounds like less than the homework Emmett's getting now in the third grade.
Emmett has about 30-45 minutes of homework every night, plus some to do over the weekend. As I mentioned, he missed three days of school this week being sick and had to catch up on 22 pages of homework (much of it double sided math sheets). Though I actually think he's getting more homework than is strictly necessary, he's dealing with it very well.
Honestly, I'm blown away by his school's high standards, but the flipside is I think I underestimated how much a third grader could learn. I mean - they're working on paragraph structure and composition, and pre-algebra.
Whoa. Go Emmett!
What, is my perversity that forgone of a conclusion?(checks thread)
Oh, yeah. Right.
The Other Board needs McNulty's Bitches, that's the real problem.
erika -- where do people think you are a perv? What are The Wire fans hang ups? It's not like the Wire is wholesome family entertainment.

Pffft, you're still fairly vanilla for this board. We just skew the curve.
Around here we use a french curve for a straight edge.

Yeah, I was amazed to discover they teach proofing marks to third graders here. And the whole prewrite and editing process later.
Ben has more homework than Jake (he's in second grade) and while some of it is the fact that he has to work harder at it -- new material, learning cursive -- he still has more hands-on homework every night than his brother. Plus free reading for a reading log.
Really gone now. The Girl Scout Thin Mints delivered this morning won't even see me coming.
He said "curve" huh huh huh.
I think they are unprepared for my sense of humor. Most people are, outside of squadrooms and city desks...the medical examiner.

what is your favorite brand of coffee that you can buy in a grocery store? I need to find a good grocery store brand.
Blue Mountain.
However, the cost of the airline ticket to get to that particular grocery store could be problematic.
