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!) First, I would try to look back and see if there was a possibility that I was giving too much homework. There could have been a chance that I did not realize the amount I was giving the students. If I was giving them too much homework, I could lighten the load. I could also allow a ten-minute "free-time" at the end of the day giving the students a chance to get started on the homework.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree.

I think it would be wise to look back at what you have assigned for homework first and determine if you think it is too much, or if is reasonable and the parent is making too big of a deal about it. In some cases there may be too much homework, and if this is the case I like the idea of allowing students to have ten minutes at the end of school to get a head start on their work. If is a totally doable amount for the student I would explain the expectations on the student individually and also for their grade to help the parent understand that it is not too much.
