They state that there is too much homework and their child can't possibly get it all done. They state that you as the teacher expect far too much. How do you handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would inform the parent that a 3rd grade student is permitted up to 30 minutes of homework each night based on school policy. I would ask if the homework is taking longer than that on a regular basis. If it is, I would inform the parent that it's acceptable for them to stop after 30 minutes. This will allow me to assist the students the following day at school.
