[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of you remember having HOURS of homework a day as a teen in high school?  No because we didn't.

Why is it fair to push and push and push these kids.  They go to school for 7 hours.  Practice sports or extracurriculars for 2-3 hours more.  Then we expect them to be excited and want to come home and do 2-3 hours of school work.

Teen years are supposed to be fun.  There needs to be a better balance.  I understand their attitude to be honest[/quote]

Not the OP, but I think you are misreading this. Hours at the library with friends means not doing his work.  He probably doesn't have hours of homework a day.[/quote]

She literally said comes home at 8:30 and has hours of homework left. What is the PP misreading. Teens having hours of homework after 7 hours of school and 3 hours of sports is crazy. [/quote]

He probably had 30 minutes of homework and was being dramatic. BTDT.[/quote]

So which is it. You are rationalizing that teens are grossly over-worked for honestly really no reason at all [/quote]

OP here and I didn't post that response about 30 minutes, but he actually rarely has any homework. Last night he had two hours, only because he put off doing it and it accumulated. He could have done 10 mins for a few days and been done with it. Again, I'm not an intense parent and he truly has very little work usually. I get that some kids have many APs and a big course load...He is not one of them.[/quote]
