... the demands on that student's time can be huge... spending 2-3 times as much outside-of-school time on routine homework...
Kids may also experience

... sports team or have other extracurricular activities that you'd have to miss... just do what he can and get assignments turned in and move on
Absolutely. All kids must learn to prioritize, weigh their options, evaluate opportunity cost, and "
choose their battles".
