My children are in 2nd and 3rd grade --- The amount of homework is outrageous. I have to do it with them and so I know that what they are asking of a six year old is downright brutal. My six year old is in the 2nd grade - Last night she had 7 pages of shit, 2 of which were double sided. She has to read at least 4 children's books a week (which is okay) but when you add it together it is --- OUTRAGEOUS. Then add in my 7 year olds 3rd grade crap and you have a nightmare of homework. I am lucky that he, my 7 year old, is very gifted and he does his homework without much help (unless he is feeling extra needy - like yesterday when he was lying on the floor and rolling around saying "I can't alphabetize 22 words.... I caaaaaan't do it.....!!!!!!")

You must not have any little kids???? Just a guess.
