I had forgotten about aeh's link. I'll print it out now. Thank you! I feel like I should work on the homework situation for DD and for all those other kids too so they can have more time to play. BUT there is so little time left in the year, and the school moves like molasses. I am wondering if it is even worth the effort. I know the principal is my best route to change, but I will need him for 3rd grade math acceleration, so I hate to use up any good will I have with him.
