That’s way too much homework. You’re already spending eight hours a day at school, why intrude the other part of your life with three hours of work?

I am sympathetic.

Thanks. And I want to make sure that ya’ll know I actually don’t have issues with public school. I used to hate it but after sitting in on one of my friends non-AP classes and seeing what his homework was, I actually realized this is an issue specifically with students pressured by parents to take an AP loaded schedule. Even at college, my sister says it’s already clear how much better it is. She is almost always fully rested since she got to pick her class times. She goes to a fraction of the school I go to every week, and she really enjoys her classes.

It’s just that me and a lot of my peers give in to pressure and take a ton of AP’s. But I honestly think if I took all regular classes, I would have learned and retained so much more, and would end up looking back at school as a challenging but fulfilling use of my time. Right now everything is just a means to an end. Another worksheet every second to mindlessly search for answers as I think about nothing but my grade.
