My stepdaughter is in 7th Harmos (10 years old) and I feel like she’s completely overwhelmed with homework. Last week, she had two presentations to prepare, a test to study for AND regular homework… all due on the same day. And a third presentation is coming up soon. She barely has any time to breathe, relax, or just enjoy being a kid at home. It makes me sad to see her stuck in her room working instead of unwinding and having fun. My question: is this normal in your experience? I thought I’d heard there were recommendations (or even rules) limiting homework to 20-30 minutes per day for primary school students. Is that actually the case in Switzerland? And if the workload is indeed excessive, what’s the best approach? Talk directly to the teacher? Contact the school principal? Something else? Thanks in advance for any advice and personal experiences 🙏 submitted by /u/cem0906
