[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are sort of concerned too. The amount of reading assigned to be due at the next class for history during last week was crazy. It was nearly 40 pages and they had to take notes and were given 2 nights to do it. Other times not much is assigned. They don’t seem to discuss any of the material. I heard the unit test on 1&2 is soon? I’m trying to trust the process but am worried. [/quote]

Forty pages with notes over two nights isn’t a lot at all, especially in a high school honors course. That should take no more than 90 minutes to 2 hours, which is not much over two nights.[/quote]

40 pages of a textbook plus notes is a lot when every other class has work due the same day as well. I guess your kid is just superior. Congrats![/quote]

Your child will be doing this in a few years with all college classes. It is doable. Your child has 2 days to complete this assignment, not one. This is a college level class so expect college level work. I know kids who have taken this class and loved it. It is advertised as challenging but great and recommended by every student I know who took it. None of them complained that it was too much. Your kid is in the early part of the class, it feels overwhelming because they are learning the skill. They will pick it up and it will be fine. [/quote]
