For regular students, homework time will depend on:

1. The number of advanced classes he's taking compared to last year. Depending on how you and your child strategized the four years of high school, there can be quite a big jump between 9th and 10th grade. We knew this and chose to frontload 9th grade a little.

2. Distance learning has less instructional time and teachers warned there might be more independent work, particularly for AP classes, which have a national exam. That's mostly reading time that they should have done in class, so it should not lengthen your child's day significantly.

My son has low processing speed (with an IEP and a 100% extra time accommodation) and has ALWAYS taken the entire day to do his work. His productivity improves a little bit each year, which barely makes up for teachers giving more homework in the upper grades. His processing speed is a great handicap, as it affects all areas of his life (tying shoes, eating, everything!) and it means curtailing his extra-curriculars to almost nothing now in high school. Now he actually has a little more free time because he's not wasting time in commute.
