The NEA and the National PTA do not endorse homework for kindergarten.

My son started kindergarten last year. School hours were 8:00am-4:00pm When he took the bus, he had to be at the stop at 7:15 and didn't get dropped off until nearly 5:00pm. He had an hour's worth of homework each night.

Personally, I think this is too much for a kindergartner. But he excelled, and he loves school so there's that.

I recall that kindergarten was supposed to help "socialize" kids; help them with numbers, colors, maybe the alphabet.
Since they can't read or write, what homework assignments take up 5 hours a week?
