[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]" independence is not a highly prized attribute in some areas of NoVa."  The military-mindset doesn't like critical thinking.[/quote]
Actually, it does. Don't make assumptions based on a couple military guys you met.
But that's a whole other thread....

I get what OP is saying but... I grew up in the 80s and 3 hrs of homework in HS was normal. [b]A lot of calculus and biology and chemistry needs to be reviewed over and ov[/b]er.  Good on kids that don't need to review calculus and 45 min in class is enough to remember everything.

My 1st grader had 30 min each night. It wasn't busy work, but important to reinforce lessons and improve reading and math proficiency.
I expect he will have 2-3 hours each night in high school. A lot of it will be doing required reading, not filling in worksheets.[/quote]

I seriously doubt Op's kid is taking calculus, but she can tell us. If I'm wrong I will apologize.[/quote]

Not OP. I posted earlier that I did this. Homework was a portion of the grade that i chose to get 0's on. I took BC Calc, AP physics, as well as AP English andFrench, among others. I got all As, took the AP tests, went to college on scholarship and placed out of the first year of classes. I got a BSEE, so skipping homework didn't hurt me.

I imagine most high school students should do some of the homework, but maybe some do not need to do any of it.[/quote]
