the high school where you have less than 2 hours of work per night isn't a good school.

But those kids are getting into top colleges still. Look at their Instagram pages. It is quite surprising.

Look at their instagram? Haaaahhhhahahahahaahaahaahahahaa!

For their schools. Huh there is an entire thread listing all of the schools look at them they’re all going to the same schools as your kid that’s doing 4 to 5 hours of homework at night so the jokes actually on you and your poor kid. That’s the problem.

Well, I better tell all the top colleges that you have instagram proof.

Np here. You are a strange bird and quite obnoxious as well.

We're considering looking at the Field School for 9th grade in the 2025-26 academic year. How is the homework load there?

60 to 90 minutes seems pretty typical. Sometimes more and sometimes less. My kid can often complete work in class that might otherwise have been home at another school. Exhaustive homework assignments aren’t the key to getting into college, and it seems that The Field School understands that. Their website shows where last year’s graduating class went to college and it’s pretty impressive. 6 Ivies. 3 to Georgetown. 1 to Michigan.

60-90 minutes total per night? Do they have AP’s?

What schools are giving less than 2 hours a night in honors/AP classes. I'll wait.

That makes zero sense. No one is doing 2 hours per night per class plus their other classes. If they do sports that means they would be up until 1am.

No, I meant less than 2 hours a night all in. Who does that? Field?

That’s is so rude. Stop trying to convince yourself that you made the right decision by having your poor kid give up their entire life for what? To end up at the same place.

I went to an ivy from a high school (in the 90s) that assigned less than 2 hours of homework a night. I know whereof I speak.

Most of the Ivies are not a grind and easier than many highschools work wise except Cornell. This is well known.

Sounds like it made you rude and bitter so not a path I would want to go down. Would rather a top 50 school and have a balance! Still a doctor regardless of from where.

I can't tell what most of this means. It was a hard adjustment but it didn't make me bitter.

They might be easier than the Big 3, but they're not easier than Field.

So no breaks or socializing or joy during the day? You just want work work work all day then sports then more work? Sounds like a mental health crisis waiting to happen.

APs get crazy. My daughter is taking 3 APs at NCS and easily has 4 hours of homework per evening. Many nights it is 5 hours.

I though they could only take 2 APs per semester?

The high achievers get special permission to take 3.
