DH went to Y7 parents' meeting after DD's first day today. 7.5 hrs homework per week - yikes! Though honestly I don't know how that compares to what I had.
School has warned that everyone hits a bit of a crisis of adjustment some time in october, but then gets over it. Could be a tricky one, as DD does get very melodramatic about these things. At least she's pretty self-motivated like me, so she'll not need cajoling and, I think, also a fast finisher like me so I suspect she won't need all that time for it.
We are going to have to think more carefully about weekends in term time, as sometimes they do end up with end-to-end stuff going on and she's clearly not going to finish her work if there's no time at the weekend.
We're also thinking more carefully now abou screen time, which we have been fairly lax about. DD does not own her own smart device and school doesn't allow them on site at all anyway, so that's not something we have to deal with.
