    Well do you have any friends that can help you? Like you all do the homework together so it takes less time to figure stuff out? Only other suggestion is physically letting a dog eat it...Sorry I cant come up with much but seriously just do whatever you can think of to getit done faster im sure you have a life to live and arent some crazy homework zombie. Also you could try explaining th situation to the eacher.

    Irish: You LEARN that? damn, I wanna learn my native language....

    Anyways, you can do that quickly, can't cha?

    Geography: Wikipedia it. Read, cpoy, paste, get rid of links and make sure it looks like you wrote it.

    WoodWork: Pick the easist or one you wanna do, wikipedia/google it. Read, copy, paste.

    RE: Read Page 36 and revise... slightly.

    Maths: Try doing it step by step. Like, 2 pages at a time?

    French: Easy. I can do it. Just write them all down and stick it into the front inside page of your book so you can check there.

    English: FINISH PAGE 25. Possesive noun? Sounds like a noun that wants alot of things.... I got nothing since I sucked at this.

    Do.not.do.this.

    Plagiarism isn't worth it, my friend got caught for it once and it wasn't fun for me to watch, I can't imagine what it felt like for her. Besides, you won't be learning and you'll end hurting yourself in the end.

    See if your teachers can give you your homework assignments early, so if you have free time during the weekend you can get a headstart. If it helps you, do work with your friends -- they can make the time go faster, but you have to make sure you focus.

    If you're taking Honors/AP classes and it's too hard for you or you feel overwhelmed, there is absolutely no shame in dropping them either.

    It seems almost unbelievable that you have so many lessons, let alone homework, in one day. o__o

    Is it like that everyday or is the example you showed us just one of the worst?

    Honestly, theres no point cramming the pieces in because they're likely to end up being of a low quality and your grades will suffer. Talk to teachers and ask for extensions, and meanwhile talk to friends you share classes with and see how they're coping. You shouldn't be so overburdened.

    Try pacing yourself. Do maybe two or three things, then take a short break, then do two more, then another short break, until it's done.

    That's the strategy I've used for years. I'm a college senior now and I still use that method to get everything done. That's how I managed to finish two 30-minute presentations, two mini-lesson presentations, and a 20-page science unit, when all were due the same week and a couple were due the same day.

    It also helps if you know the due date for the bigger projects ahead of time and can work a little on it each day. That way it doesn't snowball into this massive thing that you're scrambling to finish the day before you have to turn it in.

    Also, plagiarizing is a big no-no. You don't learn anything from it, and in some cases there can be legal reprocussions from it.

    well the only actual time i have at school is for a half an hour break.....and i need a computer for most of the stuff....and their always occupied in the library with people playing games and at home im only restricted to an hour on the computer unless there's something majority important that ultimately that affects junior cert grade.....and I spend almost every Saturday doing volunteer work (that im not going to drop)

    My friends have been helping me...well the other way around actually,im in first year and my tutor is considering putting me in second year,above the rest of my class....so friends (im sorry to say) wont be much help

    and im definitely not copying and pasting stuff of the computer....as misty said.ill just end up hurting myself in the end

    and that is a normal,if not easy day of homework...-_-

    and I have been pacing myself,but I always seem to not get it all done on the deadline....pretty stressful for a 12 year old....

    And my teachers know quite well that im under pressure..the only reason why im not in second year now is "because he's always thinking outside the box,he's brilliant but I wouldn't push him''

    I have detention on Monday cuz I keep forgetting certain parts of homework even though i have a homework diary...and detention is gonna put me back even further..


    oh and no matter what i do not wanna be moved down a class.....

    thanks ppl...
