[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d guess that the parents who claim their kids don’t have much homework have kids who are not in the most rigorous classes, are letting their classmates carry their weight in group projects and are not among the highest achievers. My kid’s workload is very similar to the other very studious high achieving kids they spend time with and it’s a heavy load. [/quote]

Ummm - rude much?  Assuming that a kid is lazy or taking less rigorous classes - and that's why your child has to put in more hours - is a bit defensive, no?[/quote]

There is a large subset of the magnet (more than half) that are not exceptional high performers, are not taking the toughest STEM classes and are lukewarm in their participation in group projects. Some of them are even clearly less interested in STEM than other topics and some are just not that motivated regardless of topic . It’s not an unreasonable assumption that there is an overlap between these kids and the ones who claim to not spend much time on homework.[/quote]
