8th Grade Pre-algebra Worksheets
Homework for summer?
Well, my two BFF’s have to practice math and spanish for like, and hour a day. We’re going into 8th grade. It’ll be first year of taking a language for my one BFF, who picked spanish. They teach spanish in school, why does she need to practice outside of it? She has to practice math too. Uhg. My other BFF is going into advanced pre-algebra next year and her mom gives her little worksheets with algebra equations on them. Summer’s about fun, taking a break from school! What are your opinions on this? Is this fair? thanxx
For only an hour a day, I say it’s not that big a deal. If they have a lot of other commitments, then yeah that’s a little ridiculous. Honestly, though, you really can lose a lot of information over summer. Especially with language, practice is SO important. I’m in college and learning Arabic at the same rate as a high school kid learning spanish, and I still feel the need to practice over summer. Class isn’t enough when it comes to really learning a language. I think it’s fair that they need to devote a little bit of time to studying, but I definitely agree that they need to be spending most of their time relaxing and having fun. There’s nothing wrong with flexing the brain muscles, but there is DEFINITELY a limit!
