[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Fairfax County Public Schools in the 1980s and I had 3-4 hours of homework per night, too, since I took a few AP and advanced math classes. This phenomenon is hardly new . . . [/quote] It may be normal, but that doesn't make it a good thing or right. It's a shame HS kids don't get to be kids anymore.[/quote] My point was that it's something I chose to do. It wasn't a decision everybody made, but I wanted that level of challenge and, at that age, I was ready for it. That's how I see schools such as Holton or NCS: offering a space for these kinds of students to excel in a way they are ready for. These schools aren't for everyone, and the sooner people accept this, the better decisions they can make about their DD's future.[/quote]
