Never said it was now did I.
First off, usually when people say that they have a lot of homework, they usually mean the homework is difficult. (Either that or the teacher felt like giving them so much homework it's just ridiculous and unneeded and you should probably just not do it) If the homework is not difficult, then it probably wouldn't be a lot as it probably wouldn't take a lot of time to do it. One other reason not previously mentioned would be that there is a lot of work to do for whatever it is you're doing, but considering it's geometry this seems somewhat irrelevant. (Show shape, show formula, calculate and bam.)
Second of all, geometry was by far one of the easiest math classes I ever took until you got about half way through. Way too many formulas with pi and all that stuff that you probably won't ever use until you've already forgotten them. Not to mention sohcahtoa, that was really difficult to understand the first time I started learning it.
As for homework problems, I've been having a lot of homework lately as well. Oddly enough the math in physics is much more time consuming than that of FST, I figured it would be the other way around. The past few days, I've been doing homework from all my classes from 3:00 to 7:00. The bulk of it was physics, government, and FST at first, though now I have my project in government done, my 2 or 3 physics worksheets done, and it seems like all I have to worry about for the weekend is another section of my FST book. (maybe a little studying for spanish or french, I suppose.) My homework for the future seems nonexistent... Just the way I like it.
Also, those who say my workload is nothing; I had no homework last year, and now I have 4 hours worth each day. That's a pretty ridiculous leap.
