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.

Good for your kids, but some kids just take longer to do their homework. Some pick things up quickly and some have to slog through. Just because your kids didn’t spend that much time on homework doesn’t mean that others don’t. Also PP is right that not everybody can be as efficient or use time well during free periods.  [/quote]
