Berlin - School Report Question and Answers
Homework assigned (quality, quantity):
Not as much homework as in the US. Primary school has assignments sent home on Tuesday, due the following Monday. Children have to figure out how to manage their time so they're not crashing on Sunday night. Fifth grade is a pivotal point on time/work management with the "Exhibition." - Oct 2015
B Starting in 5th grade, students begin to travel away from their homeroom for many classes. What sometimes happens is that they get homework assigned for different teachers on the same day. Other days there is little homework. There are often projects that could be overwhelming if completed at the last minute. I think on average, my 4th grader has less than 30 minutes of homework a night and my 5th grader has around 30 minutes. - Apr 2014
