[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10th grader doing all AP classes does not have hours of homework.

My other kid, now in college, took the entire afternoon and evening to do his homework, in elementary, middle and high school. He had a processing speed measured at the 4th percentile, with inattentive ADHD and autism.

If your kids are taking hours to do homework, OP, and they're not doing 6 AP courses at the same time... you need to worry about processing speed and possible ADHD, because the two are often closely linked. They might need a diagnosis to get a 504 and extended time.

How can your sophomore be doing all AP classes?  That doesn't sound credible.  At our school, I don't think it would even be feasible, since there's no AP English class available in tenth.

My junior is doing all-but-two as AP.  Some days, homework isn't bad but keeping up with the AP science and AP calc class takes a lot of study (not homework) time.  Put that on top of prepping for the SAT and playing a sport and my kid is pretty burned out.[/quote]

+1  Tenth grader is taking "all APs" and doing a limited amount of homework-I'd love to hear the name of this mythical school that has a 10th grader with every single class as AP yet the kid doesn't receive much homework and is doing exceptionally well according to their parent.  Perhaps we can all send our kids to this gem of an MCPS HS that has rigorous coursework but where kids magically pick up knowledge by osmosis without studying or spending time to complete assignments.[/quote]
