I don't think grade school kids should be hitting the books for 3 or 4 hours every night, but I think an assignment that would take 30 minutes to an hour at home is sufficent. I mean it stands to reason that doing homework at an earlier age helps build study skills for when they get to high school, and everyone knows high school is supposed to prepare you for college or the working world. Which intrestingly enough alot of the high schools are cutting out the shop classes. When I was in high school you could take various shop classes and be ready for a job as an entry level mechanic or welder as soon as you graduated high school. They don't have that any more. Now everyone has to take these college prep classes even though everyone isn't going to go to college. I think the public school system is f.u.b.a.r. I am starting to think if the kids don't want to go to school let them stay at home. The way it is now parents get in trouble if their kids don't go to school. Why send them if they are only going to go and act a fool? Plus it used to be when you got in trouble in school it didn't matter what actually happened parents took the teachers side. Now parents are siding with the kids and contacting lawyers because little Johnny got in trouble for running in the hall, and I bet it was because we aren't rich. No little Johnny was just running in the hall and got caught. It didn't have anything to do with money, religion, race or anything else because if he slips and falls and hurts himself you are going to sue the school for letting him run in the building.
I'll get of my soapbox now since I got 10 miles off of the subject.

1- this is Britain, the place that they charge kids who want to learn with a crime of discrimination because they haven't figured out that native english kids can't learn 10 different languages to adapt to other kids - the schools refuse to teach the natvie english kids these languages because they are only open to the kids from the other countries to improve their language skills.
2 - this is Britain where they are trying hard to find ways to improve the schools but without actually doing anything.
3 - this is Britain where we look at them as cutting edge in the form of education but they have struggled with the same problems since the change in the government from rational and reasonable to socialized and crazy - as a side bar, I understand that rationing didn't end till 1953 even though we shipped tons of food over there.
4 - this is Britain where just a few years ago they were thinking of first shorting the school day to four hours and then someone in the ministry got the bright idea that they need to actually take the kids from the parents the let the government raise them but that was shot down - you know 'the brave new world' approach to utopia.
