I usually have little homework, so only about an hour or so.  Even though technically I'm supposed to study for 36 hours per week.  In college they say for every hour in class you spend, you should spend 2 hours studying.
I rarely followed that.  Studying doesn't do much for me.  Tests and quizzes are fairly easy, it's usually the homework that's hard.

I go to one of the most competitive high schools in the nation, ranked 12th in the world.
I usually have about 6 hours of homework and studying everyday and about 3 hours each weekend.
On top of that I have a part-time job and other extra-cirriculars.
It sucks =/
Can't wait till college.

P.S. I wanna be a doctor =]

Taking college prep classes [the 2nd highest class you can take. 1st is AP].

All of the classes expect projects, books read, reports, etc.

Not sure. Even though I was taking all advanced courses (IB), I didn't have too much. The main stuff came from Calc 3, which I saved until the day before for 5-6 hours >.> Although there was the one week of 50 hours of homework...

LOL none, my middle school was so easy. I either did it 2 seconds before class or during school.

Once the summer is over obviously it's going to be much different.

Oh and Brick you're going to be in High School once school starts back up again right?

I am homeschooled.
I do about 1-1.5 hours of school work already,
but I will most likely have more later on.

1.5 to 2 is how much we are supposed to do but (thankfully) we have a block schedule. 2 of 4 accidemics then the other 2 the next day. so it helps even out the 90 minutes just for math. I normally do all of it in school during class. Next year is gunna be a lot harder since im going to our state's best marching band and high school.... :zoot:

Nowadays pupils are tested every 3 months or so, this is to ensure they are reaching targets (schools that is). The trouble is with that is teachers and pupils now spend more time on them, teachers have to do more hours and pupils get stressed. There is too high a percentage of kids who still leave school unable to read and write properly.

3+.  If you include time spent practicing violin, it averages 5-6 hours on weekdays.  (I played a concerto with my high school orchestra... I'm not the greatest, or anything, but I practice a whole lot.  it's sickening.)  Being a physics nerd, Halo enthusiast, and Tae Kwon Do fanatic doesn't exactly help either.   :P

I was a bad student last year...i have no idea how i passed... 0 seconds in the second half of school. The only thing that kept me from failing was the school work. And even then i was asleep in class most the time :LOL: im going to change that this year... I estimate 1 - 2.5 hours for 8th grade homework.

I don't do homework at my house.

I spend any second and every second extra I got at school doing it.

On average the bus takes 10 minutes from when I first go out to wait for it (Sometimes its early, which is why I am out there early). The bus ride is around 10 minutes long. Then when we get to school there is a 45 minute period before first period. Majority of classes have 5-10 minutes before the teacher starts teaching (taking attendance, etc.). We have a break period half way through morning, which is 20 minutes. Lunch is an hour long and it takes maybe 20 minutes to eat... lol. and then I have to wait for the bus, ride the bus, and then I am home.

Thats a good 2 hours plus not even having to waste my time on homework when I could be doing something I enjoy.

Why waste your freedom time when you could just do it when you can't do anything else.

PS: Also the fact that I work right when I get home to around 10pm might also be why I do it at school.

My method works and gets me straight A's.

I usually only study at max an hour, but depending what projects and subjects, my homework could take up to 5 hours.
Title: Re: POLL - Time Spent On Homework.
Post by: Lucky on August 08, 2008, 05:03:29 AM
5 hours is alot, the longest daily assignment i've ever had was about 2 and a half hours, but i bet theres longer ones in the neer future  :eyebrow:

Being in IB (International Bacc.) made me have to study a lot, and I was nowhere near the class valedictorian. He spent his days doing hw, studying, or playing guitar. Pretty much nothing else.

I'm not saying you should...but if you set up a time for you and your buddies to meet at school the next morning...just make sure one of yo buddies has his work done....lol
