Ds has not long turned six - he's a young year 2 - and this year the homework load suddenly seems a lot.
He has:
4 books a week at approx 40-50 pages each
Two pieces of maths
15 spellings
And a long piece of comprehension. It usually involves reading the text, answering ten or so questions in full sentences, answering another ten and copying them out choosing the correct word and then at the end there's something about rewriting the story or changing the characters / setting / ending.
It's a real battle. It's taking ages partly I suppose because ds hates reading and writing even though he can do it. Three nights a week he isn't back until 5.30 as he goes to the childminders and the other two week nights he has clubs and sports to go to.
We do have a day free at the weekend but I can't push all that onto one day.
It just seems a lot.
Is it comparable to what other people's children have?

To think this is too much homework for year 2?
