Hi Brother! I took some time to read your blogs and came across this one. As I seem to remember, way back when, I was Luke's age that I spent at least an hour after school doing homework at the school with my peers and then after dinner another 2 to 3 hours writing reports...mostly on Social Studies. Once I got into highschool (8 to 12) the homework lessened quite a bit. I think it's a great opportunity for the homeschool... and you know he's more than welcome for a break at our home! I guess I just strived more on the work because I wanted to get the HC Stringer Award that you got so the homework didn't bother me so much!
