[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the classes your kid prior to these had little to no homework do this seems like a lot. My kid had hours of homework starting in 6th grade so he was used to it. Public schools don’t assign much to be done at home due to equity. It’s a college level class so expect a large workload.

I might add that this shows what happens when homework is virtually eliminated in elementary school.  Even in AAP classes, it is pretty minimal.  The students are not prepared for a more rigorous education. The irony is that those URM for whom "equity" is being forced do not benefit from this in the long run; many of them would be better off receiving more homework and harder coursework with an opportunity to excel and break out of whatever barriers FCPS attribute to race. Not all kids respond in the same way to opportunity, but the answer is not to take the opportunity away from all of them.[/quote]

+1. Kids from the less wealthy living situations are the ones who suffer most. [/quote]
