Anyone have any thoughts on how much homework is appropriate for a child who has been partially accelerated? Should it be as much as the rest of her accelerated class? Or more in line with the amount given to kids her age? (My dd was skipped ahead 2 grades in math this year. She can do the work no problem, but she is dreamy and distractable and has handwriting more in line with her physical age.) Getting all the homework done every night on top of stuff from her regular classroom, plus enrichment activities gets us down sometimes. So far we have tried to get EVERYTHING done and done well to prove the skip was appropriate. But on days when dd misses the schoolbus home(adding 2 hours to our day), has extra work from other classes, and/or violin lesson I think our heads are about to explode. She's 7 and most of the girls in her math class are 10. I don't even know what is reasonable here. What are the expectations with your kiddos?
