[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We're in a highly regarded center, if that's relevant for anything... Maybe it's just the fact of having homework playing into it. We've hardly had anything during the first 3 years - all in the same school, btw. Anyway, thanks to everybody. We'll hang in there and if things won't improve, talk to the teacher. [b]DC might have some attention issues as well, which in my view are not unusual for an 8 year old boy[/b], but who knows.. yes, will talk to the teacher. Thanks again to all of you![/quote]

You might want to monitor the attention issue. 
I've found that it wasn't really the amount of homework that was our issue. 
My daughter is in GenEd and had a really difficult time with homework. Huge jump between 2nd and 3rd grade. 
My son is in AAP. We were expecting that huge jump between 2nd and 3rd grade but he had no issues at all. He's in 5th now and even when there is a lot of homework, he gets them done in under an hour.  My daughter on the other hand, might not have a lot but takes her forever to get it done. She was diagnosed with ADHD.

The teacher can tell you that "it shouldn't take more than x time" but I think it totally depends on the kid, not necessarily the amount of homework.
