My daughter gets, in my opinion, way too much homework for a first grader. This has come to be a real problem because we are playing catch up from when she was out for a week with pneumonia. We are still not caught up, and will not be until the end of next week because she gets caught up. We have been doing homework every day this week for three hours a day. Last week we did homework for an hour and a half every day after school. She is 6 years old and in first grade.

It is getting more and more difficult to motivate her, because all we do is work. I am totally at my wits end.
