[quote=Anonymous]Current 6th grade daughter usually has 2-3 hours of homework…sometimes it’s only 20 minutes and occasionally it’s 4 hours. There were more long nights in the beginning, perhaps because she had a steeper learning curve, having come from a not so rigorous elementary. However, she has all high As, so she could probably put in less effort and be fine. The teachers are phenomenal. I have an older kid at another middle school and have never seen a paper marked up in the way the Eastern teacher marks up her work (although I have still loved some of my other kid’s teachers!) I have no idea where the Eastern teacher finds the time to do that, but my daughter is learning so much! It’s the high expectations/high support that are allowing her to thrive. Initially she was saying she hated it and wanted to go back to her home school, but now she is so happy with her choice. Socially, she shifted from being annoyed by the rowdy/misbehaving kids at her elementary school to being annoyed by the overly talkative/competitive kids at Eastern, but just like at her elementary school she has found friends.
