Third Grade Homework

Most school days I pickup our eight-year-old grandson after school. He stays at our house until his momor dad comes to get him later in the afternoon. The order of business when hearrives is snack, homework and then play. His teacher gives him a list ofhomework topics that include reading an article and summarizing it, going onthe computer for a reading and math exercise and then reading a book of hischoice for twenty minutes. This takes about fifty minutes. I can’t rememberhaving homework when I was in third grade, but then again, I’m an old guy.
