2 hours a night. How old is 7th grade - 11? 12?
I know the kids are expected top do it - i just wonder why. i look at the KS3 and KS4 texts here in the UK and I honestly can't see how this curriculum can't be delivered during a normal school working week.

I recall somebody saying that the whole KS2 (Grade 6/ages 11) curriculum in maths could be successfully delivered in 50 hours - 75 hours max allowing for slower pupils. English, Maths & Science KS2 translates into 4 years at school here in the UK. I know other stuff goes on, but even allowing for 3 hours per day academic . Do the math (15 hours per week, x 30 weeks a year x 4 years = 1800 hours). Then add some homework. I'm surprised myself!

I guess I'm either naive or stupid or missing something or maybe all three? dunno?
