[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much time does your 6th grader spend on homework per night?  Specifically, at Hoover, if that matters.

Often, 2 hours a night at the TPMS magnet, but their hardest class is Spanish.[/quote]

For real? What are they spending their time on? My TPMS kids spends about 0-10 min most days, though he does spend considerably more time sometimes learning Spanish vocab. There’s barely any other homework, except for some occasional very quick math. I can’t even think of a time he’s had homework in other subjects and he’s very much keeping up with everything and diligent about getting work done.[/quote]

Yes, for real, the assignments like presentations, papers, etc, assigned. Their lowest grade right now is 98%. This week, they had a 2-page math assignment, a formative in math, a debate in Spanish 3, a vocabulary test in Spanish, a  paper due in social studies, and a science quiz. They also wrote a simple game in their CS class that uses 2D arrays but completed it at school.[/quote]

How is your kid taking Spanish 3 as a sixth grader? Guessing that you actually have an 8th grader? That sounds more like my 8th graders workload in the magnet. My 6th grader has 100% in everything and doesn’t have the workload you describe.[/quote]
Not PP, but don’t forget that there are elementary schools with immersion programs.[/quote]

Exactly, just like some kids come from wealthy schools that offer math enrichment so they can take honors geometry in 6th.[/quote]
Shh! You're not supposed to talk about it![/quote]
