How many hours of homework should an 8th grade honors student get in the US?



I am an 8th grade honors student (my honors science teaches 2 years worth of science in one, earth science and physics, and I am in 9th grade honors math). My homework takes anywhere from 3 hours to 10 hours, depending on how much I have. Is this normal? Or is my school crazy? I go to a public school, but it’s ranked quite high on CAT scores. All my friends take this long also, and we’re all drinking coffee and Pepsi (because it has caffeine) because we have to stay awake. I have no time just to hang out somewhere, or play video games at my friend’s house, or anything. I gave up playing PC games, and I love PC games- all I want now is some time with my friends. So, is this normal or NOT?

    If you want to be an honors student then your going to have to give up some stuff

    That is soo normal.

    When I was in middle school, it was normal to study and do homework every night for one hour per class. I had nine subjects that I was taking, and I would get home at 3:00pm and wouldn’t go to be until 12:00, if I was lucky.

    High school is a lot better, usually. So, keep your chin up since by working hard now, it’ll pay off later. Trust me :D
