what do you mean "homework is to be set?"

well i usualy prepare my homeworks in about 3.5-4h so i don`t think you are under a big presure.

I don't even have that mutch time to make my homework.
I need to study: 1 hour
Eating and coming to rest after school (this is important to me): 1hour
thats two hours left for other things after i come home (i come home at 18:00)
And i mostly make my homework on the bus.

But if you think you have a stressed school life then watch me.
Most of the tests i have this week got announced on friday. So i have like 3 days to learn for Electricity (subject: electromagnetism), French
And at the end of the week i have this: Chemistry and Physics

Total amount of things to go trough:
100pages

+ Homework
+ Book Review we need to write
+ i'm on the border of a depression
+ i'm on the border of a burnout

thats the result after one month of school.

Talking about home works in school they when you giving a home works they mean to prepeare you to real study of high education(coleges, university) where is no homeworks(some teachers giving but not with preasure). So sometimes home works are needed becouse they preapering you to self study years ;-)

Heh, 2.5 hours ... . I'm working for 8 hours a day ( ... well from 4:30 p.m. till 1:00 a.m.) and studing in the University in the same time. If only I could turn back time from the high school .

Time is going and nobody can turn it back only in his own memories :-) I to study in colege but my studys are ednding when lecture is over, not talking about my course project to make :-) And my high school homeworks tooked max 2hours. :lol:

by the looks of things the amount of work i get is going to get worse (erk!)

Living and learning till you're dead ;-)

I can't afford to not study.
I'm in one of the hardest possible things to learn.
Industrial Sience...

If i don't have a test each day it means the teachers forgot to give one.

I've got enough time for doing homework (which I rarely ever get). My school takes four hours from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM. I have to take the train, which adds a total of 3 hours of train-driving to and from school. So I usually do my homework in the train.

bart416 you're in real sh*t of that but my speciality is not a one from easiest in my colege that is hardest speciality, electronics engineering... I can fix the elcronic stuff :-D

While i've got enough time to do homework i really don't think it should be set in primary and high school. I've been reading a lot about how younger kids react to set homework and how it generally won't help them to learn anything at all, just get into a mindset for doing homework at older ages when it is more benefitial to them.

So really i think homework should only be there for teenagers in the later stages of high school so that they can cope with workloads that build up in university and the like
