[quote=Anonymous]I would be shocked if there is not homework every night.  A child trying to take 6-10 AP exams by junior year of high school will simply have to study outside of class time.  My DD is in a middle school which assigns little homework compared to other schools and she still has 45 minutes to 2 hrs a night, depending on the day and luck.

If they will be reading classics, for example, when would those books get read?  During class?  Doubtful, that's for discussion time.  What about writing -- you need a block of time to write.  Would that also be in class?  Doubtful, how could the instructor bring out themes and talk about the book and also have time for the kids to sit and read it?  Memorization of verb tenses for a second language?  Again, that's something that a child has to work on alone most likely.

By all means, ask the founders this question and let us know the prognosis, but parents, I would not base your decision to attend on a promise of little homework. [/quote]
