Kingston - School Report Question and Answers
Is the amount and type of homework generally appropriate for the age and grade of the students?
No. The Elementary School for some reason has this really hard-core homework policy (ten minutes per day per grade level, so e.g. a third-grader should have 30 minutes of homework per day) and insists the children need to learn study skills and personal responsibility, but then in Middle School all the teachers say homework is unnecessary and the children should use their free time to be involved in sports and activities instead. High school has IB, so they generally have a lot of homework. - Sep 2023
