[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids in high school. One has done magnet programs at every level and will have completed 12 APs by the end of this year. That kid has a double period internship and a separate retail job. The other has attended our neighborhood schools. That kid has ADHD and dyscalculia, has struggled in school at times, and hasn’t taken lots of AP classes.

They’ve both had the same experience: nights with very little homework because they were given time in class to work on their assignments, and nights where it’s the perfect storm because they have something due in 3 or 4 different classes to be completed at home and two tests the next day. My magnet kid has more busy nights with homework than my other kid does, but also is able to work more efficiently and therefore can complete more work in the same amount of time.

I’m surprised to hear that there are students who consistently have the same amount of homework from one day to the next.[/quote]

My kid has different amounts of homework that must be done completed each night but has been good about setting aside the same amount of time each day to study and do homework. When she has less homework due the next day, she uses the time to study for an assessment.

There are definitely some days where there is a lot due and she may spend more time studying, but overall, it's a pretty even amount of time.[/quote]

Like all professionals, teachers should assume they need to report to work at their usual time and plan accordingly. [/quote]
