[quote=Anonymous]There is another thread going where posters say as much…that the schools all assign 3+ hours of homework. I agree it is too much. And really do feel bad for the kid. But it just seems to be the reality of many of these highly competitive schools, however misguided, no?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad to hear…but isn’t that what your family signed up for?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry, OP.  Mine is being excluded and ignored.[/quote]

Oh no - by old friends?[/quote]

Yes.  They have found a cooler crowd to hang with.  The girls in this class are so cliquey and try so desperately to be cool, and kids like mine -- who are kind and smart and decidedly NOT cool -- are left out.  It's toxic.[/quote]

Same here.

And DC is questioning her class choices and wondering if she can handle them. Also almost to 4 to 5 hours of homework a night  along with being on a varsity sport team and no time to be a kid or have fun. it’s so sad to watch.[/quote][/quote]

NP. I’m sure they did not “sign up” for that. No one thinks their kid will have 4 hrs of homework. The school needs to frame shift dramatically.
