By earn it, do you mean putting 25 to 40 hours into schoolwork outside of the classroom?  About the range for "average" Sidwell student.[/quote]

Really??? I have two kids who went from Sidwell to a HYP and neither put in anything like that kind of time. 15-20 hours per week on homework was closer to the norm for them. [/quote]

Not a careful reader. It says work outside of the classroom, which means library time, holidays study hall etc.  25 plus per week is the norm at Sudwell, unless your kids are just lazy.[/quote]

No, I understood. They spent 15-20 hours a week on homework, whether done in study hall or at home. Both participated in a full range of extra-curriculars including sports and they rarely went to bed later than 10pm.

Would be interested to know what the "norm" is, but I strongly suspect that kids who routinely spend more than 25 hours a week on work outside of class and/or routinely stay up past 11pm are not working efficiently. [/quote]
