[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a breakdown for my 6th grader. Relative to ES, when there was no HW at all, my 6th grader has quite a bit -- but it's still very manageable. FWIW, he's in a regular, non-magnet school, but he takes enriched math/social studies and language A/B. The actual amount of work varies per night depending on what he finishes in class, what he puts off until the weekend, etc.

Language is by far the class he has to study the most for; he usually studies most nights for maybe 20 minutes, longer (maybe 45 minutes) on evenings before an assessment.

He has about an hour of math homework per week for math, but it can be done at any point, and he usually does it on the weekends. If there is an end-of-unit test, he spends about an hour or two studying in advance of the test (spread over several evenings).
[b]
For English, he has about 45 minutes of work per week if they are doing a novel study -- to read the novel and complete the homework. [/b]He also sometimes has to continue to work on writing he started in class.

For social studies and science, he mostly completes work in class, but occasionally has to finish projects he didn't have time to finish in class.[/quote]

Can I ask - are you at a public school?

I have had two kids go through our MCPS public school and they have not read many novels in MS English.  They seem to mostly read excerpts in Study Sync.  Wondering which MCPS middle schools are reading novels!

My kids read books in HIGH in 6th grade.  Not so much in ‘Advanced’ English though.  [/quote]

How much do you want them to read for school?

My kids read about 1 novel per quarter at school and go all in commenting each page and writing responses and essays and all that school stuff. 
At home and read 3 novels a week.
They don't need more "work" novels. [/quote]
