[quote=Anonymous]My guess is that my kid at Latin spends 1 to 2 hours on homework---sometimes less---maybe more if they are working on a big project.  (This estimate is for middle school.)  A typical homework night might be 10 math problems, a reading and set of short answer questions in science and either geography or civics (depending on which grade), about 10 sentences of Latin translation and then some reading for English---and perhaps a short writing assignment but the writing assignments are usually not every night.  There is definitely homework but I do not feel like DC is overburdened.  I also love the fun events they do---today is "Pi Day" (3.14---get it?) where the kids compete to see who has memorized the most numbers of Pi---with the winner getting to throw a pie at their teacher of choice.  The teachers and administration are good sports ---the event builds camaraderie---and I guarantee that my child will never forget the number Pi.  Yesterday the 5th grade went to the Museum of Medical History and DC came home brimming with information regarding how the brain functions.  [/quote]
