[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are 9th grade magnet students taking APUSH or Honors US history?[/quote]

They were strongly advised against taking APUSH but some ignored that advice.[/quote]
I wonder if they regret it.[/quote]

I’ve heard so.[/quote]

Some can handle it, some can't. I wonder how students in both Functions and APUSH are faring. How many of them are there?[/quote]

HW load
   * for magnet 2-3 hours / night
   * for APUSH 1-2 hours / night
   * for Functions 3-4 hours /night

With those choices expect 6-8 hours of HW / night.

This is very inaccurate according to many students. Magnet classes have minimal HW and APUSH has an hour or so of homework every two classes. Functions HW varies between 1 hour and several hours.[/quote]

The consensus on several threads here with many many posts was 2-4 hours a night was the norm for functions.

I'm sure you can find many more posts supporting these facts if you care to Google. There's even one poster who claims it's a lot less because kids are watching youtube videos and not focused but nobody else took them seriously and that wasn't our experience.
