Good info from Jenn the used to be teacher. (what is with that name and our generation?) I love to hear about studies and what is thought to be best for our bodies, minds, etc. We have one HS grad, 2 in HS and one in grade 5. The highschoolers tend to put things off so we're starting the year off with required time and planners. We'll see how that goes. I just came back to read what others had to say.

Especially since I don't feel it's really looked at (in elementary school) so what happens if it's done totally wrong? Bah! Anyway, I think it's up to the child's personality. My son likes to get it done and over with so he can relax the rest of the evening. My daughter likes to do that, too, but sometimes she'll wait until the morning. She gets up way early. Both of them hate to have to worry about homework when it's tv watching time. I'm not sure if it's because they are older or their personalities, but I really don't have to watch over them & make sure it gets done. Oh, how I hate homework!

I detest homewoek....home is family time. So if they are going to be "made" to do home work...make it useful and get your mommy points out of it too....I know it is a stressful time, but if you give the 45 minutes of devoted time to the homework corner or tavle or what ever.... it goes smoother. Read a book at the table and be available for help... have snacks ready and make goof sounds as you eat.... talk about how there should be a NO HOMEWORK policy.... and then discuss that there are things in this life that we do now and will do later that we think are ridiculous, but are "have-to's" THe speech on the "can I have a break?" Poot kid.... they really need the break, but brain research study suggests that "Prime time" you know when we all sit down and veg for the new fall line up? That when the sun goes down, food in the tummy... it is time to settle and be settled.... it is primal in nature.... back from the days wehre there were no lights.... so.... I vote for a fun block of time at the table with Mummy making as crazy fun as I know she can!
