Churchill Homework?

[Anonymous]

We just moved to the area and people keep saying how much homework my DC will have at Churchill. Obviously it will vary with each teacher but on average, if your child goes to Churchill, how much homework do they have a night?!

It just depends on your child’s schedule. This has been the worst year for my child but it’s due to 4 AP classes.

Also depends on your child. Our 2 both took rigorous classes and got excellent grades. One is good at school/the system, and spent minimal time with homework or studying (some days none, some days an hour, the night before a paper or exam due, more). The other needs to work at school. Easily 2-3 hours per night.

Both did ECs that took up time, but also gave them a physical outlet, and time with friends.

Like any MCPS HS, if you take a lot of AP classes, you'll have more work. Churchill is no different.

Yikes 2-3 hours per night?! Mine doesn't have trouble, after a full school day, sitting down and studying for longer periods of time. Needs to take breaks and move around. 2-3 hours is A LOT of homework time!

10 min per grade works well for ES, but not secondary. Reading and writing tasks for 4-5 classes should be 2-3 hours if on grade level or higher.

My kid at a W school does at least 2-3 hours per night. Often more. And that’s with just 3 APs and a few honors classes.

Depends on the child. One gets down to work and is efficient. One procrastinates, daydreams, stalls, writes, rewrites, edits, just takes longer to do everything.

Not really. Even if one used the 10min per grade model, by 9th a kid would be at 90-100mins which isn’t far from 2hrs. Add in people taking Honors or AP classes, 2hours would be the expectation.
