[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are they getting their hw done???  My 11th grader sits down around 8:00…post sports practice, shower, dinner and is rarely done before midnight or even 1:00-1:30

No phone etc[/quote]

If they are taking that long, they are [b]either in classes way beyond their knowledge or they are socializing online while doing homework[/b] [/quote]

My junior son is taking AP Calc BC, AP Lang, AP Physics, APUSH, Spanish 4, CS Data Structures, and AP Psych. He plays varsity and club sports and is involved in several other ECs. He uses his time efficiently in class and during the free block every other day. He has 7 or 8 hours after school with which to study, do HW, play sports, go to clubs, eat dinner, etc. It seems to be enough time when coupled with various hours on the weekend and days off.

I would encourage all parents to check the digital well-being or time app on their kids' phones to see how much time is being wasted there.[/quote]

I agree. And if staying awake until 1am every day is required to be in a “rigorous program” then I’ll pass anyway. [/quote]

Homework till 1am every day is not required to be in a "rigorous program".  My kid was in SMCS in Poolesville.   He slept at 10pm, got up at 6:30am. Was out of the house by 7 am, in his school before the first bell (around 7:40am).

He showered at night, ate breakfast in car, had a blanket and pillow in the car to sleep more if he wanted, I packed his lunch, and I drove him to school.  His school bus came at some unGodly hour so he never took the bus to school.  He was usually home by 4pm or 5pm.  A very long day. Homework was finished at school.
