I don't remember a lot of homework in the grades. Maybe a couple work sheets or something. I had a fair amount in high school. I took all the college prep classes....well I didn't take calculus or physics in high school, but all the rest. So there was always math home work, reading for lit classes etc. I was also in choir, swing choir, band, jazz band, and a multitude of small groups, did theater, debate and I'm sure I'm leaving out some things. We rehearsed jazz band at 7:30 am and we finished with swing choir about 7:30 at night, 9:00 if we were rehearsing a play. So I was at school most of the time. It seems like there was still time to mess around with friends and get homework done
