I've not expressed this to my step-son at all, God knows he doesn't need me to make homework a negative thing. I was just curious if Ledgie parents in other areas (I live in The South-NC- where the schools are at the bottom of the list) are experiencing the same thing, and how do you feel about it?

How much weekend homework is he given, generally? Is it something that can be done all on Sunday evening, or is it so much that he ends up spending half the weekend working on it?
