[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Are there any MS/HS options in DC that offer both a sharp, engaged peer group and a light-to-manageable homework load?[/quote] Most schools have minimum core requirements. If somebody stuck to the minimum and forgo AP classes they would have less homework. But everybody is afraid to do that in fear of going to a lesser college.[/quote] I took lots of APs, got 5s on everything, and did maybe -- MAYBE -- ten hours of homework a week, all in. I can't believe that a similar course load today really *requires* 2-3 times that.[/quote] Well good for you. But the private big three I went to did not allow that. If you had only spent two hours a night on homework, you would have only finished half your homework a night and been crucified by the teachers and counseled out. Many kids are assigned four to five hour of homework a night, with even more to do over the weekend.[/quote]
