My child is in 7th grade and gets so much homework. Their teachers assign many assignments that are more than three pages, every few days. I do understand that the kids are learning and they need to be more responsible with how they spend their time, but this homework is creating additional stress and anxiety into my child’s life. Is there anybody we can talk to about this?

A. Absolutely. The counseling center is a great resource and can help with strategies such as time management, learning strategies, stress management and more. Their website (https://sites.google.com/shenschools.org/gr6-8counseling/home) has tons of useful resources and information.
