[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid stopped most ECs when he got to HS. He has one EC and that's it. He has ADHD and homework takes a long time. I guess the other kids just stay up really late to get it done.[/quote]

Some kids do stay up late. I have one kid(DD) who works till late and another(DS) who is done in 2 hours.

My kid who is done in 2 hours is  very organized and disciplined. He has been lucky to find some study buddies who are like him and they will sit down and work like whirlwinds to get their homework, projects and test prep done. These are serious students and they also teach each other. It is a beautiful thing to watch. His study buddies are all very focussed and they are also doing tons of other ECs too. I am actually astounded by the speed with which they work. They are like a pack of velociraptors.

My DD on the other hand likes to work alone, had lots of lists, and works slower and with more deliberation as compared to DS.  She will collaborate occasionally for group projects. Both do a large part of their homework at school during breaks or on the bus ride home. That is a given. [/quote]
