Do eleventh and twelfth graders get books upon books of homework?

Do eleventh and twelfth graders get books upon books of homework? I start school tomorrow and I'm gonna be a junior(eleventh grader). I want to know because one guy in my phy-ed course last year told me that students in those grades get less homework. Is that true?

12th grade is just a joke.GettingTired

Depends on what classes you take and what school you go to. I'd say no. 11th grade I got about as much homework as in the previous grades, maybe less due to factors such as testing and SATs. 12th grade is just a joke.GettingTired

Yeah it really depends on where you go to and what classes you take. My high school has a notorious reputation for giving a lot of homework and killing your social life lol. I still remember during freshmen orientation they said that homework should take no longer than an hour per class. You were lucky if you managed to finish your homework that quickly lol. I had the most homework in junior and senior years compared to my first two.

I also start 11th grade tommorow. From what I've heard, there should be less homework unless your taking AP or Honors classes.

My high school assigned a summer reading assignment to all prospective students, while we were still in MIDDLE SCHOOL. lol All of us were pretty ticked off the rest of the day lol.

Wow, your school's policies are really jacked up. What kind of school gives out homework in summer to students at different grade levels?

[QUOTE="duxup"]Huh? Not all schools or classes are the same... you didn't know that?gamerguru100

No.

So who cares, it's inevitable that you will face some homework. Whether it's a "lot" in your mind will be up to you.

For me personally, 11th grade had some of the most homework of all grades. 12th was the easiest though, since I had most of my credits already and had the least amount of classes to take of all other grades..

Yeah, but it's part of the "culture" of the school. Teachers pile on the homework and don't care about what your other teachers are doing lol. If you were lucky, you'd get a teacher who would delay the test if like half the class had two other tests the same day or something.

when I was a senior, I had already taken both all the required science and math classes required to graduate (at our school anyway), and opted not to take any more as a senior...so I had 2 study halls all year

Not really. If you want mountains of homework, go to college.

It depends entirely on what subjects your taking AND what your school is like. I got some homework, but not books upon books of it. In Year 12 it's really coursework, again not a lot, but more than ni Year 11 (I found anyway), hope this helps.

If your worry about High School classes this badly, your doomed when you go to collage LOL

but anyhow, like the others said, it all reallys depend on what classes and how many your taking that will be the factor on how many books and homework your getting

At my highschool, we were able to pick most of our courses (2 mandatory courses in grade 11, and 1 mandatory course in grade 12). So for me, there was very little homework all year long. If I had some more credits, I would have been able to take a spare block as well.

Don't worry too much about it. Even if you do get kind of a lot of homework, just take the time to do it and you'll be fine.

Just tell yourself that it's much easier than University/College. Grade 11 is the hardest but you won't have books upon books of homework. At times, you'll have a lot but you'll manage.

Most non advanced classes are ridiculously easy and have little homework. Though if you get a bad teacher this might not be true.

Err, it really depends on what kinds of classes you're taking, but you almost certainly won't have too much work.chessmaster1989

Depends. If you take AP classes then you will recieve quite a bit of homework, otherwise just a little bit.

Well it depends on your classes. Advanced classes call for advanced homework. I'm a Junior too, which is the hardest year of highschool. If you do your first 3 years of highschool right, senior year is supposed to be really easy.

math is an everyday thing. Everything else won't be as bad.

As others said it depends on what classes you take. Usually by junior year you have some more choices in what you take. I would say that it was an amount I expected.

What is really shocking me right now is the homework I have as a senior. I expected little, but so far I have had about as much as last year or maybe a little more. I seriously can't explain it because I am taking one less class and the classes are overall easier, besides math and my science class which are just the next level from what I took last year. This is seriously annoying me and hopefully the homework load dies down some.
