[quote=Anonymous]No the teachers in 6th grade are not uneven.  One though is rumored to give more hw which just isnt true.  There is no way there is 5 hours a night.  Spanish is like 15-20 minutes, and any vocab is about the same.  Math I know depends on the level of the student as some kids certainly will take longer.  Science labs also take longer but they always have 2 nights (minimum) to get them done.  History/English depend upon the assignment but there is nothing, except a big project (which are mostly done in school to avoid helicopter parents doing any/most/some of the work) which would take so long.  There is no hw for art or music in A Form.

If the PP's son was doing five hours just because they needed to finish, they were neither organized nor focused.  They probably frittered away their time in school too.  It just is not possible, and we have had multiple boys through A form so we would know.

I would suggest STArt smart for your son as a way for him to be more organized and focused.  It is an after school program for all lower school boys who want to come (and some whose teachers send them there) to get hw done, get help if needed and be supervised.  And it is is free too!
