UGH! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

So the youngest son, who is 11 and in 5th grade, bring home his homework. Among it is a paper where he has to write 6 questions and answers about the chapter in the story they are reading. These questions need to be open ended, meaningful and require a lot of thought to answer. Did I mention that the chapter is only 2 and half pages long? We could maybe squeak out 3 questions. Meaningful and require a lot of thought........ I'm an adult and would have a hard time with that, yet a 5th grader is suppose to do this. UGH!
I don't ever remember my 12 year old having to do stuff like this and one would think I would remember since he was in 5th grade last year! My 3 high school age kids even shake their heads at some of the work he has to do.
When did 5th grade become so hard?

My 3rd grader brings home the same stuff. It drives me nuts and makes me feel like an idiot when I've read a 2 page chapter 30 times and still can't figure out the answer to the question.
