Ins and Outs of my Life

Too Much Homework

My son and I are working four and five hours a night on homework. He does it while I help him . I help him by keeping him on task. I help him with studying as he has alot of it. I am happy he is at a private school and things are little accelerated. Therefore, he is getting a decent education that most public schools in this area can not offer. This area's test scores stink compared to national scores in the public system. My son's school scores in the top twenty percent in the national scores. However, I wonder if it is all worth it as our afternoons are all homework and everything else is put aside. Even now he sits writing a paper thirty minutes past his bedtime. We will survive but it is killing us right now. He is only in the 4th grade and I have another coming along in K-4/
