[quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th grader (called A Former for those that actually have them) and he has the "tough" teacher of the 3 and let me just say the following:

(a) it isn't as if the other 2 teachers are cake walks
(b) the tough teacher is WONDERFUL
(c) the hw level is a step up from b form, but in no way shape or form is it 5 hours a night.  That is insane, and if your son is doing 5 hours a night, something is wrong and I would urge you to talk to the teacher or the academic dean or even the head of the school.

Should your son be doing more than 2 hours, cut him off and send him to bed.  It is 6th grade for crying out loud.

There is time in school to get some hw done.  Mine is not the best organized, has lots and lots of extracurriculars and at the most has spent maybe 3 hours once because he forgot about the science test 9as his grade the next day sort of showed) and had math, spanish, history and vocab all in the same night.

This is either a fake poster or someone out of control who is hung up on academic awards or something.  Sixth grade is manageable.  Just wait till you get an upper school boy and they are not even done with their school commitments until after 6 pm!!
