When I was teaching in Texas, we had a 10 minute per grade homework rule...1st grade--10 minutes, 2nd grade--20 minutes, etc. That doesn't include work that SHOULD have been finished in school and wasn't.
Rachel's in second grade this year and the only homework that has had is 15 minutes of reading each night. She had homework 2 or 3 times a week last year, but I've yet to see anything other than reading this year.
