Homework assigned (quality, quantity):

A - Mar 2015


B- This really ranged, depending on the class and level. From my feedback, my class got high quality and quantity of homework. However, I heard from other parents that some classes did not get enough homework or got too much. This is a usual story for most schools. - Aug 2014


Good amount, I think. It's hard to tell because sometimes my children finished their "homework" during class time. However, regular homework consists of weekly spellings, math and IPC assignments. Reading chapters for English class is another common assignment. Ideally, I would have liked to see more homework assignments in conjunction with daily study-hall so that the children gets into a good routine and discipline habit of having work to do every day. - May 2014


Homework assignments are a new trend in the last 2 years. Even so, with so many teachers and zero coordination, assignments are often contradictory and confusing. The addition of this new NAMFUS system had done little to nothing to improve the poor communication. - Apr 2014


The homework is all over the place - my child has 5 different people assigning her homework, and they don't communicate with each other. It's very hard to figure out what they want. - Mar 2014
