Is Too Much Homework A Bad Thing?
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
When one of my daughters was in third grade, my husband and I were sitting at a parent schoolteacher conference. I was a little surprised when my partner asked the lecturer to give our daughter more school work. He didn't feel like she was being challenged adequatly. I was also impressed, because I worked evenings, and it left my husband in charge of overseeing school work. I knew he had been paying attention to what the kids were doing.
Is there such a thing as too much school work? I guess to answer this question you have to look at the reasons why you are asking. Is there not enough time in the day or week to complete it? Is the due date too soon after assigning the work? Is your children straining to understand the subject?
Put whole lot into perspective. If your children doesn't have ample time because they have other things going on every night, then you need to decide what is most important. This is your child's education, and if their plate is too full, other things must go.
If the schoolteacher is not giving an acceptable amount of time to complete the homework, make sure you know when it was really assigned. Your child might be telling you a later date because they did not remember or have put off doing the work. If it is really an unreasonable amount of time, talk to the lecturer and define the problem. They may think the homework was easier than it really is, or that it didn't need as much study. Your children might also have misunderstood the homework and is making it more difficult.
If your children is straining with the topic, find them some help and see if you can get more time to finish it. If you can't provide the help, find a tutor or someone else that can help them.
