Walls parents how much homework?

[Anonymous]

I have two kids at Walls and they are not overwhelmed by the amount of work at all. They seem to get a lot of work done at school somehow. They both play sports both for school and outside of school and spend time with friends on a regular basis. I think this also really depends on your kid but from our experience, I would not describe the school as a pressure cooker or feel that it is an extremely competitive environment.

Also, don't worry, there is no conspiracy Walls parents have to keep information from you about the amount of work. Just feeling a little done with threads about Walls recently, as summarized perfectly by the initial response to OP's questions by the previous poster.

Yes, can someone please answer this very basic question? It’s strange that no one has bothered to answer yet. What’s going on at Walls regarding homework?!?

With your sense of entitlement, may I respectfully suggest private school is a better fit for you?

That’s the plan!

However, my daughter applied to Walls so I’m curious about the homework load. Btw, your response is a great reminder that DCPS (and many of its families) are all too willing to tolerate poor communication, meh instruction, and abysmal customer service.

How does asking this question have anything to do with a sense of entitlement? Isn't this a forum set up for questions and discussion?

yowza. No one is under any obligation to answer on this discussion board, you know that, right? And, a lot of HS aged parents don't read this if they don't have youngers

I am starting to feel like Walls parents are jerks. Seriously.

They are calling you an entitled jerk for demanding that people answer your question. My lord, could you be any less self aware?

We had a lot of questions answered when we attended the interview and chatted with the student host, including like others say here: it depends on the kid.

Thanks for answering my question!
We asked our student hosts (there were two) before being led upstairs for the Walls interview. I asked here because the students gave two very different answers.

NP here with a fellow 8th grade applicant. I suspect that’s the accurate answer, and the kids told you that themselves. It depends on the kid. We have one neighbor who says it was a shock to the system for their kid, and another neighbor kid who says “meh, it’s an hour or so”.

As a general premise I am against the Walls interview process. I will make an exception in this circumstance because it gives them an opportunity to meet parents like you...and make sure they don't get in.
