Daughter Has Too Much Homework?

I have a daughter who is in the 5th grade and is practically failing all her classes. This week was testing and so when she got home I asked "How was testing?" She said everything was going "fab" and she understood everything. Then I confronted her about her grades to make sure she really was understanding everything. I asked her a few questions and she was absolutely perfect! Then I asked "Then can you get your grades up?". She sighed and said "No, my grades are low because I can't turn in my homework on time.... every homework piece is always late and my grades are dropping really fast because of it!". Then she added, "There is only one person in our class that finishes on time. His parents are really strict so he does homework for pretty much 6 hours staying up way past his bedtime." As for me I think 6 hours worth of homework is too much. That is 5 full packets of work and some other things too. What do you think? What should I do?

Get together with other parents and schedule a meeting with the teacher. If that doesnt work, get the principal involved.

I would recommend scheduling an appointment with the teacher asap and going thru the class curriculum and syllabus to see what's happening and to go over your daughter's progress.

If that is true only like one person is passing, I'd consult with the counselor and principal.

I would recommend a private meeting with her teacher first before going to others so that you can evaluate what your daughter is telling you and what the teacher says just you know the teacher's point of view about this situation.

Apparently her low grades have been going on this year and perhaps you and your daughter have discussed this before?
Hopefully you and the teacher can discuss this in private and come to some sort of resolution that will be of benefit to everyone in the class.

If the teacher explains her reasons for the homework and you are not satisfied with the results of the meeting, then, by all means, take your concerns to the principal (make an appointment and meeting should be private unless the teacher is also invited).
