Has your senior hit a wall/lack of enthusiasm with college process?

Isn’t it crazy how much screen time they have now?!? Our son’s remote days are the same: 6-7 hours of school screen time, and then 4 or more hours of homework screen time. It’s unreal and I feel so sad when I see him sitting at his desk chair for so long.

IMO the teachers really need to re-think the homework model this year. For example, in some cases, let the kids decide if homework actually needs to be done. If the kid understands the concepts and doesn’t need practice or reinforcement, let him sign something saying he is waiving homework due to strong comprehension. As it is, my son spends hours on homework that is really just “busy work”-practicing stuff that he already knows how to do. I’d rather see him get his eyes off the screen.
