For example, 2nd grade homework is designed to take about 20 minutes on average. Inappropriate or not, DS typically finished it on the bus, if not in said down time in school. In many cases it wasn't even worth arguing about.

See this is where I get myself in trouble with the school. If they send a worksheet home that is way below what DD is currently doing, realistically it takes her a few minutes to do and she can actually do it while watching a t.v. show with 100% accuracy.

Now I can see the school thinking, well if it's such a non-issue, why are you even complaining, just be glad it doesn't take her 20 minutes.

But I say, obviously she can practically "do it with her eyes close" type of thing which defeats it's purpose which is practice to mastery. Why would I even spend the second it takes to grab it out of the bag. confused
