[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is  one student's 2hrs can take another kid 4 hrs. I'd be interested in what parents from different schools (please specify school) are told by admin/teachers that the expected workload is per night.[/quote]

Our school sent an email saying - parents should expect 2-3 hours of homework a night. If their child is doing more homework they should contact their mentor to adjust their schedule/work on study skills.

They are expected to study much more 4-6 hours exam week. (I only think they do this to get kids ready for college though)

I am constantly telling my son - a B is fine - 3+ hours a night is crazy.

I tell him - it is sad but you are learning work(school)/life/family balance at a very early age.

I have a big family and lots of neices and nephews. I think it comes down to the parent's expectations on how heavy a course load, how much homework a kid does and what grades are expected. I have the benefit of seeing many of these kids succeed with and without all the stress or all AP classes with straight A's.[/quote]
