    Public school dictating the life of the kids beyond their scope is a extremely sore subject for me. I applaud you for standing up for your child. I think its a win for everyone. Do these teachers really want to grade all this homework? really? I doubt it. You've won this battle, get ready. There will certainly be another.

            We always did a pretest when I was a kid. The only kids who had to do their spelling homework for the week or take the Friday test were the ones who didn't ace it on Monday.

              that's how it works here, too.

              I'm glad they're making the changes across the board. Clearly there were some adjustments that needed/could be made.

                For those of you who don't have school kids quite yet--- this is how bad it is. When my 3 yo colors at our kitchen table she calls it homework. After she scribbles a sufficient amount, she brings it to me to sign it. Lol. She knows homework isn't complete without my initials.

                  Hilarious! My 5 year old doesn't the same thing minus signatures.

                    Too funny! When our 2 year old is on pbskids on the computer she calls it her "baby homework"
