[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My freshman is at a selective DCPS and comes home with homework that keeps him up past 10 each night. I am impressed that he keeps up. I don’t see all the details but it does look like he misses a couple things here and there but mostly does everything. Grades came back stellar. OK. But in normal life and last year it didn’t seem like he could work this hard indefinitely without needing a breather. He also does athletics so that’s the first thing to go if he ends up falling behind. But can our kids really do three hours of homework 4-5 days a week 18(?) weeks a year and not end up in a mental health crisis due to falling behind or burning out? This feels like a situation a 15-16 year old will not successfully navigate without a lot of risk. [/quote] 3-4 hours everyday is excessive and a grind. It’s not necessary, especially if a lot of it is busy work.[/quote]
