homework... how much is too much?

I completely agree, I think its insane... And it is one of the main reasons I choose to homeschool. Kids need to be kids, time after school should be for play. Play is learning, also!

haha... yeah, we heard so many "horror" stories of the amount of homework coming home that was one of our reasons for homeschooling too... if I'm going to have re-teach J by doing homework, why don't we just school at home and teach him the first time around....

When do kids have a chance to be kids anymore? I didn't have that much homework through school and yet still managed to graduate college with 4 credits short of a double major in 4.5 years... and that was coming from a barely accredited school system prior to college...
