Two hours a night of homework for an 8 yo??!! Yikes! That sounds super painful. I am glad I guess that my kids get little homework right now. My son had been in kindy in a private school- he had like 30 minutes a night of homework, much of it stupid. It was things like, write this word ten times. Well, after writing it 3 times, he had the hang of it but they insisted the full 10 times!
