[return to the red]

I am surprised that not one person has brought up the physical effects (besides gastrointestinal) that all this homework is having on kids. Two and a half hours of homework a night also cuts into the whole excercise and physical well being routine.

When I was a younger minimal amount of homework was done and after that it was outside to play street hockey or whatever. I would come in at night just exhausted, clear mind and get a good nights sleep and start fresh the next day, ready to learn.

Now you have Children doing homework and then staright to bed? What happens when they are having difficulty? I know when I try to sleep with a problem on my mind I have a tremendous time falling asleep and feel like Hell the next day
