Feedback on Homework Load

I would like to give parents this space to comment if they wish on the subject of homework load.  I am happy to receive any and all feedback.  Perhaps the interactive nature of a comments section will lend itself to some give and take on this issue.  As I stated in my email, I will be meeting early this week with my 5th grade colleagues, so that we can hopefully harmonize the homework requirements across the board.  Feel free to comment here and stay tuned for more details.

Katie and I had a talk about homework this weekend in response to the email. She reports that her homework takes about 2 hours (though I notice the TV is often on while she's doing it). Although she has noticed a "ramp up" in the number of pages assigned, the quantity seems reasonable to me and good preparation for middle school. I appreciate that weekends are left free for family activities.
