The time was unbelievable for requirements, I'm talking into the 1-2am getting work done and back at school at 7am.

I did get a chance to talk with the coordinator of the IB program my daughter is in, and she said they shouldn't be having more than an hour or an hour and a half of homework a night...the problem is the math curriculum--they are using a new one this year, and apparently the teacher isn't familiar enough with it yet to gage how long the homework is going to take theJazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733411405712601399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-4884599432046834032008-09-16T00:51:00.000-05:002008-09-16T00:51:00.000-05:00Oh, and good luck with your class!
