[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10 to 20 minutes a night total? Or per class?

If it's only 10-20 minutes per night for everything, that's not too much at all. In fact, it's a pretty light load. Buckle up, buttercup....[/quote]

In one specific course, the teacher is assigning nightly hw of 10-20 minutes.[/quote]

That's an amount that would be appropriate for first or second grade. Guideline is 10 minutes per grade level for non-advanced courses in most schools I'm familiar with. Admittedly that's only a small number, but still.

Perfectly appropriate, certainly not excessive.

A few hours a night for a single class would be excessive, but my middle schoolers were both told to expect up to 3 hours of nightly homework total (all classes combined). They rarely had that much, but they certainly had a few minutes per class on many occasions. They were assigned more homework than they ever did at home... they made excellent use of bus time and of dead time before/after school or in other classes. [/quote]
