[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend with two kids there. They are stressed and stretched to the max with 3-4 hours of homework a night, which started in 7th.. They are thinking of leaving because of the stress, but the kids adamantly want to stay for social reasons - they love their friends.[/quote] Real dumb ass comment. Everyone is different. My kid is a 9th grade @Sidwell and he also spends 4 hours of homework a night which is OK by me. He also has tennis, piano and guitar lessons during the week and more tennis lessons + tournaments + private tutoring on weekend so he has to manage his time wisely. Since he is not the smartest kid in his grade, he needs to work three or four times harder than the smart one. What's wrong with working hard? This country is built on hard work.[/quote] Your poor kid. When do they have fun?[/quote]
