Some nights I had like 10+ hours of homework. Most nights it was closer to 8. I'd do a few hours of homework before bed, then get up early and do homework for 4-5 hours before school. That was my junior year. That was also the year I started seeing therapists for depression and other problems. Go figure...

Senior year wasn't as bad (made sure of that and took some easy stuff), and neither was sophomore year, but I do remember having to devote my entire Sunday every Sunday to homework when I was a sophomore. I would occasionally get projects that were horrible, but they weren't as bad as my junior year.

So I think schools should ease up some. Especially AP classes because you need to actually teach the kids stuff instead of giving them busy work. I took AP and spent hours and hours doing busy work and did horrible on the tests.

I hated school, but I'm in college now and its better so I don't care that much.
