[quote=Anonymous][quote]DC is in the magnet program at Blair and spends a tremendous amount time doing homework. We expected an increased load of homework going into the program, but the amount has become ridiculous. Can anyone with experience in the magnet program share how much time they/your DC typically spend/spent on homework? In the 9th grade? (10th, 11th and 12th, too?) [/quote]

Some kids are average and some are super quick homework finishers.

Some kids are slow pokes and others are very fast and efficient with completing homework assignments.

Some kids read and comprehend well (speed readers), others are slow and plodding readers.

Some kids type fast with accuracy and others are slow and mistake prone.

Some kids are excellent and savvy with computers and problem solving and others are only average.

Some kids are procrastinators and others are not regarding homework.

Some kids have great organisational and management skills regarding homework and others need a parent or other hiree to manage their homework.

These observations apply to all grades.  Some spend 1 to 2 hours a night and some never finish their homework.

I hope this helps.  The "rediculousness" of homework is in the eye of the beholder (e.g., parent and/or child).
