Something came up today that drew me to this delightful thread.

My AP teachers seem to be unaware that I have 6 classes I’m taking at the same time, not just theirs.

For about the fifth time this week, I heard a teacher argue how easy homework is to fit into one’s schedule. They say something like “Oh class, don’t feel cheated, I only give 30 minutes of homework a night.” That would be just fantastic if I only took your class. But every one of my other teachers has the same exact mindset so that daily 30 minutes of homework turns into daily 3 hour sessions for homework.

Sorry for the whining. I am just low on sleep, have a quiz every other day for one of my classes, and am drained and hearing my teachers try to trivialize it just put me over the edge (which basically means I’m angry enough to post on a forum).

EDIT:

I think I realized the issue started at the time when I signed up for 5 AP classes. My friends all take regular classes and are at standard math level, and when I see what their homework and classes are like, it makes me jealous. One regular history teacher said that the AP teacher is probably better, but you learn more in his class (he was half joking in an attempt to get me into his class since I know him well) and it actually makes perfect sense. You spend more time on each topic, have less busy work and you get to really focus on learning something to the fullest. An AP stacked schedule just burns me out. I am actually quite curious what all of ya’ll think of schooling in general.
