[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone share examples of the homework? What's a sample problem set like? How many sets/problems per week? Is quiz/exam prep an additional time load? 
Is the time spent pondering problems, or doing heavy reading too?

My kid said it’s 9 a night, I think. He’s not in functions, thankfully.[/quote]

Seems like this will prepare them well for college.[/quote]

I think it’s excessive. In college you attend class for a few hours a day, and then have the rest of your time for course projects and homework. These kids are already in class for 7.5 hours a day. Three hours of Functions homework on top of that, not to mention work for their other classes, is a lot (to say the least).[/quote]

Perhaps, but this class exists to challenge the very best and brightest. It's not meant to be a cakewalk.[/quote]

The magnet teachers always emphasize the class is not for the very best and brightest and that it's more for those who have the interest and and are excited about putting in the time. If your child loves math I would stick with it because your child will come out better for having taken it.
