[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from a relatively small public high school in 2001.  Every AP class averaged probably one hour’s worth of homework per night, although the English courses could sometimes be even more.  (And of course this includes time over the weekend to get stuff done.)

This seems totally normal.  If your kid doesn’t want to do the work maybe they should reconsider taking the classes?[/quote]

That's not normal. That's 5hrs a week of homework plus 4 hrs of class, per course, which is far too much for a school with 7-8 courses at a time.

I managed that type of workload as a student, and I had a job on the side.

It is never going to work out that EVERY class has 1 hour of homework a night. The workloads ebb and flow.

I remember taking advantage of time throughout the day. I studied at lunch, before band rehearsals, and when the teacher gave 10-15 minutes at the end of random classes. I learned to manage my time well.
