I think she meant that her daughter doesn't even have the patience to sit through Pokemon much less do 1 1/2 hours of homework a night.

I would be very suspicious of a school that gave a first grader 1 1/2 hours of homework a night. Something is radically wrong somewhere.

I wonder myself!

It could be that the child does not want to study. We had a niece that stayed with us for a while and every night she would take forever because she was used to watching TV and had no one to look after her to make sure she studied. So - she never learned to study - until she came to life with us. Now she is in college and studying to be a pharmacist because she learned that all good things come through hard work and studying.
