High School Class of 2017

<p>For once I have seven hours of sleep because all I had was Biology homework. Technically I have homework for AP World History but I put it off since it isn’t due tomorrow. :wink: I might have Academic Decathlon until four tomorrow, so I’ll probably have time to finish homework early again if I learn to manage my time.</p>

<p>I’m seething. my ap human geo teacher always gets mad at me when i ask him to put in grades but hes supposed to every week and he says hes going to everyday and he never does!!!</p>

<p>You guys talk like you have so much homework. In comparison to me, I have so much more.</p>

<p>Everyday I have PreCalc hw (usually 30-40 problems) Physics hw (a video and 6 questions) APUSH (chapter outline each week and other depending on unit) English (the odyssey reading and an essay to write) Spanish (a worksheet) Chemistry (a worksheet). That all takes about 4-5 hours a day. Not including EC</p>

<p>@Calchong‌ None of my teachers EVER update even when its required.</p>

<p>@livelaugh7‌ it takes me an hour and a half to read APWH every night, i have alg2 for at least 30 mins (i skip a bunch of problems and make it look like i did all of them), then i have an English test tomorrow on lord of the flies, A spanish project due tomorrow with a presentation and i am not even ready for this i can barley say it in English much less spanish</p>

<p>@Calchong, that book is ancient. I read it in 8th grade. xD</p>

<p>@livelaugh7 Oh my, that’s rough! I attend a school with a block schedule so I only tackle four or five classes each term. I’m kind of disappointed in myself though because I have really bad time managing skills, so even though I only have around two to three hours of homework, I usually get six hours of sleep. I’m learning how to push myself to work harder though by reading articles and books on how to be a better student, and I’m slowly becoming more productive.</p>

<p>@livelaugh7‌ You’re the one who signed up for Chemistry AND Physics the same year… lol. I have about the same workload as you, only I have 7 classes, instead of 6. I absolutely HATE it when teachers take their time updating grades!!! I have a project and a lab report that were completed over 30 days ago, and I have no grades in those classes!!!</p>

<p>Honors Biology - 1.5 hours of notes and studying. EVERY. NIGHT. and it’s not even AP…!! (My school is rough with HW)
Pre-AP English - 20 minutes reading, 10 minutes on worksheets.
Honors Chinese 2 - 20 minutes learning characters and 10 minutes translating
Algebra 2 - 15 minutes on a worksheet (super easy)
American Gov - 30 minutes studying for the ridiculously hard tests
H Spanish 3 - 30 minutes translating and taking online quizzes
Latin 1 - 30 minutes translating and studying vocab
Total - ~~3.25 <em>(this is with no projects, tests, essays, quizzes, lab reports, or anything!!)</em></p>

<p>@Livelaugh7 @Spiral7 Holy crap you guys are lucky!</p>

<p>Calculus - 2 hours of studying/practice ap tests
AP Chem - 3-4 hours of study, lab work, practice ap tests
AP Gov - 1 hr of study
Physics - 30 min study
AP Stats - 30-45 min study / 30 min homework practice</p>

<p>That’s just what I do normally, it’s more when I get assignments. I get home at 3Pm usually, stay up until 1 AM with homework/studying.</p>

<p>Which means I should go do homework.</p>

<p>OKAY you guys are crazy!! I thought my life was insane but I do get home pretty late usually, this is like a new record being home at 4. My chemistry teacher thinks that challenging us means giving us tons of pointless worksheets (honestly this lady from a 3rd world country is REATARED!!!)</p>

<p>Is this a competition to see who has the most homework? I would lose. My homework takes about 6 hours but only because I get distracted. I could probably do it in 3 if I tried harder.</p>

<p>Oh wow, see I should spend more time on hw but I really don’t need the practice so…</p>

<p>AP Calc- he doesn’t collect it, therefore I don’t necessarily do it.
AP Stat- same, but my teacher actually gave me permission not to do it, so…
AP Art- THIS TAKES UP SO MUCH OF MY TIME
AP Euro- Like an hour
AP Chem- half an hour?
Hon English- Only a lot of time if we have an essay or project due. If not, there’s absolutely no homework.
Spanish- Like ten minutes once in a while</p>

<p>I guess that I have to spend some time with piano and cello, but it’s not really a burden. I just have a lot of ECs, so it’s a lot of afterschool time taken up.</p>

<p>@dsi411‌ basically I get really distracted too, so I take quite longer than the hypothetical time…</p>

<p>I barely get any homework… I feel like such a slacker compared to y’all. Occasionally it takes me time to do an especially lengthy chem lab, but that’s about it. </p>

<p>Math homework I sort of… don’t do (or, I occasionally do it ahead of time, depending on what it is–for the most part, we get packets with challenging problems all the precalc teachers wrote and those are really fun to do. for example, I’m probably done with enough of the packet to last me until mid-next week). </p>

<p>I don’t get much English except reading, which I like to do anyways–and for our current book, we have all of break to finish it (I’m almost done). </p>

<p>History homework is for bs’ing during Read. </p>

<p>Spanish homework rarely takes more than fifteen minutes. </p>

<p>Engineering stuff is almost entirely done in class. </p>

<p>Chem homework can take up to an hour if there’s a really long lab, but that rarely happens; usually it’s somewhere around a half hour of work. </p>

<p>I don’t get any work… I slack off so much, I’m screwed for next year (I’ll be taking AP Chem, AP Physics, AP Calculus BC, Honors English, and perhaps Journalism if I get in, along with US History (which is a really BS course since I’m not going to bother with the four hours of homework that is APUSH); the latter five will take lots of time).</p>

<p>@OverInfinity‌ I wish my teachers didn’t collect my homework…</p>

<p>Algebra 2 Honors: ((for some reason we use a college algebra textbook)) usually 20-30 problems
English 10 Honors: usually a short term project (usually assigned over a weekend) and some reading
Chemistry Honors: 1-2 labs (pre-lab or post-lab) and a long term project. Sometimes some reading, worksheet or video.
Spanish 3 Honors: study vocabulary, and a few activities in one of the workbooks/textbook
European History (regular): some reading 3-4 pages in textbook or 1-2 primary sources
Drawing: weekly sketchbook for 50% of semester grade</p>

<p>I feel I always have so much homework, but compared to you all, my homework load seems small.
Of course, this is disregarding any long term projects that I have and my extracurriculars take up a fair amount of time (I get home around 6 or 7 pm every night).</p>

<p>@Teyrkis‌ </p>

<p>We’ve been having a constant sexting orgy on the google hangout ever since you left us. You missed your chance with me. Come back.</p>

<p>/sarcasm for anybody not aware</p>

<p>You guys are making me sick. I try to do as much homework as possible in my school’s study hall-like periods (failing kids have to stay back in their failed class and passing students can do whatever). I go to the library and do my homework during this time and strive to use time in class when we’re not doing anything to finish it. I have as little as no homework to as much as 3 hours on any given day (though both are extremes).</p>

<p>US History 1 Honors: continuously working on a study guide, usually I have to do 5 questions a night. Sometimes we have vocab which I spread out each night as well. I do my current event (due each Friday) on Monday.</p>

<p>Newspaper: …Really depends. Usually I don’t have any homework, but the stress of due dates for articles and interviews and even having to go take pictures of sporting events can be stressful. On bad days, I spend 2 hours doing newspaper stuff. On the more frequent good ones, I do nothing.</p>

<p>Math 3 Honors: Usually a worksheet or section of a worksheet each night. Sometimes packets. I try to get this done during class.</p>

<p>Spanish 3 Honors: Usually 1-2 worksheets each night. We have a reading chapter and questions, summary, vocab and culture due each Friday. I almost always get the reading chapters done at school.</p>

<p>I take it back</p>

<p>You guys have ridiculous schedules. </p>

<p>@Spiral7‌ I take 7 classes but one of them is Health and Fitness. Oddly, Physics is a flipped classroom so everything is much easier.</p>

<p>Oh and guys, I know how to work quickly :slight_smile: The 4-5 hours I tallied doesn’t include studying for anything ever, just plain old homework.</p>

<p>On another note, this week, I have/had two-four quizzes/tests/essays every day. Terrible.</p>

<p>Wow some of you guys have so much AP classes! I’m only taking one right now: AP World History. I should also be taking AP Chemistry like most sophomores but since I came from a private school I had to take a beginner’s level of science last year instead of Biology. I took a placement test to skip forward to Biology so I could take AP Chemistry sophomore year but I failed it because I only had two days to study, I forgot most of the material since I learned them in seventh grade, or some concepts were completely unknown to me because I attended a Catholic school, therefore we didn’t learn about concepts such as the Big Bang or evolution.</p>

<p>When this week is over, I will rejoice.</p>

<p>hah same.</p>

<p>today was my last day.</p>
