There are a lot of school boards that are known for stupid work loads and homework for kids. Ottawa seems to have many schools that are on the heavy side. The stupid thing is, most of the homework sent home is really more for the damn parents than the kids.
It has gotten so ridiculous there have been some cities have had to pass by-laws limiting the amount of homework that gets sent home. Toronto seemed to have a few school boards which were sending 3 to 4 hours home a night for 11 and 12 year old kids.
Not sure what you guys have south side of the border.
