@englishlover16 ~ if you have most nights with 5 or 6 hours of homework, I think the problem is time-management. I can’t imagine what kind of course schedule you might have where that is a regular thing. My D is an IB diploma student which is basically the equivalent of taking 6 AP classes, a collegiate level class (ToK) and community action hour requirements. She and her peers at the school often average 2-3 hours of homework each night with a full weekend day thrown in the mix. I do think though that those playing sports have a more difficult time during their seasons but that is a choice they make.
