[quote=Anonymous][quote]You misunderstood, the middle school was not time consuming meaning no need to study for the classes at home, HW not taking up much time if at all etc. That's what made participation in activities and clubs possible. High school would be a different story. [/quote]

OK, wow. I thought you were joking at that list of activities, but you were serious?

And I don't know your MS, but while my kid does not find the MS work "hard" or really need to study that much, there is still nightly homework that needs to get done. Almost every night she had.....

- a page of algebra problems (not tons, but took her approximately 15-30 minutes)
- readings and/or questions to answer for US History (another 15-30 minutes, sometimes more closer to a test)
- reading for English, and studying for weekly vocabulary quiz (15-30 minutes)
- readings and/or questions to answer for science (another 15-30 minutes, usually closer to 30 than 15)

But there were also projects due almost every 3-4 weeks in all these classes. Plus the occasional homework for her electives.

Even if your kid is smart, they still need to actually read the material and write or type stuff. I would say she had 30 - 90 minutes of homework a night, with 60 minutes being average, but 90 was not uncommon. And frankly, I thought she should have spent longer on things, but she got all As and a B, so I guess it was sufficient and I was trying to be hands off![/quote]
