and half of it is the parents doing it honestly lol
Rahul Mehta
haha ok thats true for a lot of families. but thats a problem with how much is given, not with homework itself
Sneha Iyer
if every school gives too much then maybe the whole thing is the problem
Rahul Mehta
i dont think so. some practice at home is how you actually remember stuff. tables, spellings, reading. you cant do all of that in class
Sneha Iyer
reading i'll give you. reading at home is good. but thats not what homework is now, its worksheets and projects that the parents end up making
Rahul Mehta
the projects are a joke i agree 😂 my mom made my whole solar system model in class 5
