My son is now had two days of school. Second day went better than first, he met with his psychologist after the first day and that seemed to help a bit. Only homework so far is math, and that is all review. Lots of problems about solving linear equations. Looks like both his math & chemistry homework are going to be heavier weight than last year and graded on completion. Last year the teacher just "checked" off that it was done, this year's math teacher collects it. I had a talk with him about at least writing something on all the problems. At least the teachers won't grade the homework, there just isn't time with the large size of the classes.
He isn't sure about English class yet. And he is day is really long. He starts at 7am.. and doesn't get home from marching band till at least 4pm. It's hard to fit anything else in, because he is exhausted and there is homework. So far it's not clear if he is going to sleep all the way through US History (7am class) and Chemestry (after lunch). You wonder if the plan it to make them too busy, and too tired to get into trouble.
