My kid can handle a lot more especially in English and yet there is no work. Then I've seen kids struggle and drop out of classes in high school or college. Why wait so long? My child isn't in 2nd grade anymore. They can handle 1 hour of homework a day.[/quote]

“Afternoons are too busy to make up for the lack of rigor during the day”, but you want an hour of homework?[/quote]

Why though? Why can't they just be kids before high school hits them? Don't they deserve free time?[/quote]

Yes. Yes. they do. This is why I don't want to do C2 or private school with a long bus ride or drive or any of these options. I just want AAP classes that are actually advanced during the school day which if advanced should have some prep work for them such as writing a draft or reading a chapter or studying for a test.

This conversation just isn't going anywhere because no one actually believes the curriculum is watered down to the point where it is barely general ed much less AAP. If my observation were met with some truth the conversation would go better than arguing about the word playdate versus getting together with friends. Many people on this site these days just want to put people down and argue so instead of actually discussing the point as a possible reality you just spend your whole time defending.[/quote]
OP, I get your frustration in all your posts, but trying to compare in general in such a huge school system will not be very fruitful. If you're looking to have a more nuanced conversation you'll have to provide the actual school. Middle schools can be very different, even within AAP. E.g TJ feeders will very likely have a much more rigorous subset of classes within the school aimed at the "TJ crowd" peer group. On the other hand the same subject on paper in a different AAP class will be much more watered down. You can't really compare things across this huge school system without more info.[/quote]
