I envy you! Both of my kids had unhealthy amount of high school homework. I know many parents whose kids stayed up until 1-2am at least once a week. We expressed strong opinions to our kids that sleep is way more important than getting an extra grade bump, but many kids still trade sleep for a better grade.

Who are these kids? I have never met a child who would avoid sleep and stay up half the night to do homework. /slight sarcasm.

  Do you have kids? If so, what ages? US schools have changed, a lot, in the last 30 years. Many schools now are pressure cookers on both the teachers and peer levels. So some kids stay up very late and some go on antidepressants. On the other side are schools where no one cares about academics, and the bar for good grades is no mischief. Which is also not a great school for any kid.
