[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Honestly? I think it might be possible that your kid says they are "working on homework" for 3 hours at night, but really they are getting distracted by their phone, etc for at least an hour or so during that time.[/b]

If not, then they have choices to make for future course selections. I will say that both of my kids went through Rocky Run and Chantilly. They both took all Honors and AP classes and did not have anything resembling "hours of homework every night." They worked very efficiently throughout the school day. Currently, they are both doing very well in the Engineering programs at UVA and NC State. [/quote]

My child’s phone is not in their room while they do homework. My child complains they cannot concentrate at school during the time they are given in class to work on something; therefore my child is constantly bringing assignments home. It is beyond frustrating. [/quote]

Why can't they concentrate in class? If it is too noisy, perhaps they can bring in some noise-canceling headphones. My son has sensory issues and has headphones to use during classwork time. He has no IEP/504; he just asks his teachers ahead of time.[/quote]

I just suggested noise cancelling headphones but they are afraid to appear different and weird by doing that. [/quote]

You and your kid have a million excuses [/quote]

High school is harder than middle school. Kids will need to up their game.  Btw, spoiler alert, college will be harder than high school.  Kids are not just learning the academics at school.  They are learning all kinds of things like how much effort they need to put in to get the results they desire, how to work independently or in a group, what kind of supports do they need to be successful, what's more important, using noise cancelling headphones in order to be able to effectively concentrate in a classroom full of chaos, or looking cool.

It's all part of the learning process. They'll need to figure out how badly they want the A and what they are willing to do to get it.  Maybe they don't want it that badly.[/quote]
