At academically demanding high schools, 1 hour or more of homework/studying per class per night is not unusual, and it is not busy work either. Some kids fill their schedule with classes and electives and have no study halls.
I would imagine it is very difficult to be a high level gymnast and practice 4+ hours a day, plus travel time to and from the gym, and study for 5+ hours a day, in addition to the school day, plus get a decent amount of sleep.

Yep would love to have this option when middle school starts.@Deleted member 18037 wow. that's a bummer. It used to be in NJ, but that was a good while ago now!
Yes! It's a great read.There is an extremely interesting book, "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. He examines what it takes to be an extremely successful person, whether in sports , business, etc. a good read for all parents, I think, because many have a tendency to get " stars in the eyes" over their child's success, in sports( gymnastics!) etc.
I remember meeting swim requirements as a condition of graduating university in NY. There were probably other PE requirements as well but do not remember. All I remember is treading water for a long time the week of graduation.Yep would love to have this option when middle school starts.
You even have to take PE in college in NY

I need to ask my nephew who recently graduated from one of the SUNY schools what requirements he had to meet.
We have made conscious decisions to skip the electives that aren't required to ensure my kids have a study hall. They would not be able to balance school and gym without it. We tried it one year and it was a disaster!
definitely more than the 10-12 that my older boy could fit in..but he was trying to jump levels too....wonder what the minimal hours you could get away with and still train successfully as a level 10 gymnast. large amount of time at gym is dedicated to moving mats and waiting for your turn. wonder if 1-on-1 situation like iceskating or smaller groups would be more efficient leaving time for school and sleep.
