[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fighting has been isolated in the upper grades and it appears that it is effectively being dealt with.

My kid has maybe an hour and a half a night, and some nights less.  The thing for us is that our DC with a short attention span and cluttered ways is now organized and finishes the work efficiently and can plan ahead for nights when there are activities.[/quote]

An hour and a half? What grade is he in?
For 8th grade we average  3-4hours

Average day of homework 
30 problems every day, including 10 minutes of revewing new concepts, and 5 minutes of reviewing for mistakes (1 hour)
2 science homeworks per day (2 hours)
Reading and reviewing history, English homework,  work on a project (1 hour)
Review for a test ( at least 30 minutes)

It's true that the pace of math is very fast, even by European standards. 
It all depends on the child. My child tells me his classmates are very competitive. In fact one "smart" girl, usually quited poised, got so upset because she got a lower grade that my kid that she ripped part of my child's CJ.

Thank you for this. Writing the deposit check for a real school (private). It hurts, but your testimony puts it all in perspective. Basis is a hot mess, but perfect for people who are too lazy to move to the suburbs.[/quote]
