my son is up until 2am every night doing math sheets. he is in 7th grade and just a kid. he needs sleep more than he needs busy work.

I would love for my children to have less homework. Once they reached middle school, my husband & I quickly realized that on a school night it was impossible to plan a family movie night, have the grandparents down for dinner & a visit, etc because the homework load was too much. In addition, the homework was inconsistent... some nights there would only be homework in 1-2 subjects (jackpot!) and other nights they'd have 3 assignments to complete plus 2 tests to study for. Add in the extra time needed for my son, who has ADD, and on those nights he was easily looking at 5-6 hours of homework. Have a few nights like that in a row and students understandably get overwhelmed, frustrated & depressed. I would love to see some changes take place! My son is a Senior, so any changes won't benefit him, but it's nice to think there's hope for my daughter, who's a Sophomore, and other students.

Please give us no more homework, I have many extra curricular activities that I attended every week, sometimes I stay up until past midnight to get my school homework and EC activity work done. This is a big problem on my stress level and mental status.

I fully support this effort. Homework can be beneficial for some, but can also contribute to stress & exhaustion if given in excess. Our kids needs to be able to turn off their brains & rest a little each night.
