After school, you’re already exhausted from working your brain all day. You might also experiment with what time of day you work best on homework. But could it be taking that long because you have lots of distractions and take lots of breaks, etc.? I’m not saying you shouldn’t take breaks, but there’s a difference between taking a five minute break every thirty minutes or so and drifting to TV, video games, or your text messages between every math problem. I mean, I believe you that it’s taking too long. The first step might be figuring out if you REALLY have three hours of homework. It won’t be MY fault if you get a bad grade! LOL!īut, I totally agree that three hours sounds like way too much for fifth grade! ☹️!! However, please don’t use this as an excuse NOT to complete your homework! I can promise you, your teacher is NOT going to be very happy to hear you didn’t finish your homework just because you read on the Dork Diaries website that Nikki Maxwell said a fifth grader should only have fifty minutes of homework. If you’re in third grade, you shouldn’t have more than thirty minutes.I did some research and the National Parent-Teacher Association recommends ten minutes of homework per grade, per night. But instead of piling on the work, it seems like they should let you be a kid for as long as you can! The teachers are trying to prepare you for middle school.
