[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask the school what the expected homework load is; ours states it in the handbook. 10-15 hours per week for underclassmen and 15-20+ hours if you are an upperclassmen. (Expectation being that if you are in APs it will be 20+) Non big 3[/quote] 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. [/quote] I should add that she is super efficient. There is just a lot of work because the humanities courses (non-AP) can have several hours of reading and writing per night. [/quote] Yes, even if you are a fast reader and efficient worker there is so much to do and study when taking the hard classes. But even if one is at a less demanding school there will be nights where your kid spends 3-4 hours. That should not be the norm in my opinion which is why we may leave an NCS like school for upper school.[/quote]
