[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much homework is there, really?

Do the kids who claim 2+hrs of math homework /night stick with it all year at that rate, or do they get faster at the homework, or do they drop down to the lower level class?

Are any of the other classes homework intensive on their own? [/quote]

My 9th grade magnet student, who is in Precalc and not Functions, has much more homework than their sibling who is a junior taking 4 AP classes in a non-magnet school. Getting better since the start of the year, but still significant amounts of time spent. It's primarily math but some contribution from the other classes.  My kid came in with a MAP-M around 270 and no significant outside enrichment or acceleration in math. Other kids with different backgrounds might not be spending this much time on homework.

The magnet program has been an adjustment and a challenge, but it's a really good challenge and the right fit for them, and they are doing well.  They are glad to have chosen it and feel like they are learning a lot.[/quote]
