How much is a lot? [/quote]

There is a lot of homework, especially if in the lower grades and 3rd grade they had little to no homework.

There were times last yr (in 4th grade) that my DS spent 1 1/2 hrs. a night doing his homework.  Much of that was due to time management...initially they get a lot of homework in almost all subjects and they have to learn how to manage their time.  Also, it takes a while to get used to the teacher's standards...his teacher would take off for the smallest things (since they are trying to teach how to follow directions) like if he didn't double space, as was asked in the instructions, etc.

Once the kids catch on it gets better, and they tend not to make the same mistakes again.  But expectations are definitely much higher than they were previously.  And in a good way (as in the kids are finally challenged, learn how to manage their time, and actually find some of the assignments difficult!)
