My son is a Junior in high school. The amount of homework and studying that he does is amazing. He's a top student but, it still is amazing how hard he works.

if youre paying private tuition the teachers dont have to be certified either...so yeah youre teaching them at home sucker
My private HS had standards that were much more difficult than state certification.

I didn't. It was pretty manageable, to be honest. Only homework I ever remember taking much time at all were long form projects like papers, etc. I don't recall what amounts to essentially busy work reviewing what I had done that day.
Studying my own notes? Sure...but not pages and pages of workbooks, etc.

I agree. How ironic at the guy saying "frick personal responsibility"
Personal responsibility would be letting the kids decide how much work needs to be done to master the material

Count me in as a parent and former teacher who thinks too much homework is being assigned. I think there is spoken and unspoken pressure for schools to compete with each other and to improve. That's fine except it's assumed that more is always better, and teachers get lazy. Giving targeted and meaningful homework assignments versus just throwing a lot of stuff at them takes work.

Yeah public school trash likes to throw that around so they feel better about sending their kids to those shitty schools

You want your little one to not have to worry about someone taking his/her job? Johnny had better do his homework.

Parents need to quit whining about having kids.

30 minutes per class in high school? Every night? Jesus
I had 6 classes so 3 hours every night on top of 7-8 hours of school? frick that
Not counting a job.
I would work everyday after school from 4-10 (school got out at 3).
Always made me laugh when some parents worked 8 hour days, then acted like we had it easy because we weren't "working".

The hours of homework for kids every day is stupid. And, everyone saying that the kids should have all of this homework each day is just completely wrong. There is no reason to believe that this much homework makes a difference at all.
If you do 30 minutes of homework per class, that is 3 hours of homework each night - not counting when you have projects and tests. You are in school 8 hours a day and then have 3 hours of work each night? Sometimes more? That is ridiculous.
Anyone who says that that is a good use of time has no idea how to educate.

Les Miles has lost control of elementary and secondary education in this country.

Not every private school thinks this way. My kid's private school requires all teachers to be certified, even the preschool teachers.
Stop spouting bullshite.

Homework was brutal when I was a kid and that's 15-20 years ago. I can only imagine how it is now.
ETA: But if it's any consolation- I got into a good college and I have a good job. I mean, I'm not rich, but I'm not starving.
