I don't see anything wrong with easing up the homework load a little bit. I just got through high school, and (at least my last two years) I took mostly AP classes, and after spending 7 hours a day in school, I would regularly spend another 3 hours a night--including weekends--working on homework. That's 56 hours a week. Add in an activity or two (we often spent 2-3 hours a night studying for Academic Decathlon) and that completely rules out much time for a life.
