Re: too much
I think it really depends on how the teacher teaches during the class. Some teachers do nothing during class and expect the parents to do it all at home. Some teachers are really creative during class and pushes kids to want to learn and the acceptance for doing homework is there. But for K-4, I'd say 30-60 minutes each night to instill the "school isn't over when the bell rings" mentality. Once homework becomes the norm, it becomes just a part of life. But the elementary, middle, and high schools should be in snyc with that.
