<p>My 3rd grader spends a good bit more than 5 minutes on each homework assignment per night, so I guess I just can’t fathom the idea of a rigorous high school which does not entail significantly more homework than that. Knowledge keeps expanding and history marches on, so students today will have even more to study and learn than we did. No one, no matter how brilliant or efficient, is born already knowing the entirety of an AP course curriculum. The Bible says that even Jesus himself had to grow in knowledge and wisdom, being human. The accounts on here are rather incredible. I want to believe them, but it’s tough.</p>
