You are very wrong.  Four hours of homework per night is very common at Big 3 and somewhat common at many public and private schools.  At most non-Big 3 schools, you can get by with less, so only top students work that hard.  At Big 3, unless you're unusually efficient, your grades probably suffer a lot of you do only 2 hours per night.  It's also not cool to get mediocre grades at Big 3, so many people do the work required to get B or above in all courses, which is a lot.

Most students at Big 3 have more reading and writing than most students at other schools.[/quote]

4-5 hours per night means your kid didn't use free periods during the day and/or isn't very efficient in doing their work. I disagree that grades suffer if they are doing less.
