If you could estimate the amount of hours of homework you have as a 9th grader, what would it be?

Depends on what classes you take, what kind of student you are, and where you go to school. I took honors classes and AP Human Geography my freshman year and if I was productive I never had more than an hour and probably had "no homework" most of the time. The reason I say, "no homework", is because I had a lot of textbook reading and worksheets that were "optional". It wasn't graded work but it was supposedly necessary. I made sure to do only what was necessary for me to maintain my grades in the class so I did homework on things I didn't quite get yet. I go to a public school that isn't highly ranked so that might mean less homework. I also know people who take the exact same classes as me and spend 2+ hours on homework each night which I never have done once, and we get similar grades. That goes to show there's not really a perfect number of hours, you just have to figure out what your goals are and how much you need to do to maintain them.

I just finished 11th grade and I would say I spent about 2 hours a night on homework. You might have a little less or a little more based on your course load. For context I took all Pre-AP classes. I would prepare for that number to increase until you finish junior year.

As others have said, it really depends on coursework and teachers and stuff.

I will list the classes that I took in 9th grade, and how much I spent a night, on average, for each of them:

- Math 3 Honors:

I spent around 2 hours a night on this before tests, and around 30 minutes a night on normal school days.

- Biology Honors

I had almost no homework in this class, so I only really spent an hour the night before tests on work.

- English 9 Honors

I also had almost no homework in this class, so maybe around 10-15 minutes on average.

- Health/Global Studies

- so these alternated by semester. Health was very intensive, and I maybe spent around 30 minutes a night on that class, while Global studies was not at all intensive, so I spent 0 time on that subject at home.

- PE

No homework. Enough said.

- Spanish 1

I had Activities to do at home, so those took up some time, and also prepping for presentations. I'd say it took maybe an hour a night.

- Band

I was in marching band, so I stayed after school for 3 hours daily, so this took up a lot of time.

In reality, I only really had three hours of homework total per night.

I think this is a fairly subjective question. For example, I took all honors classes my freshman year, but I did not have any homework. I was able to finish it all within the school day. Granted, this speaks more to the quality of my school than anything else. I think you may want to ask upperclassmen at your school who have taken a similiar course load. I find homework depends on the teacher more than anything.
