My dad was prof of elamentary education at Ohio University. He always disliked a lot of homework. Said it was just homework for parents. And if they did not know how to teach that subject, they could teach the child incorrectly. He said just give enough to reinforce what was learned in class and to show parents what their kiddies are studying.

I remember when my daughter was in 6th or 7th grade. Came home with at least 2 hours of homework everyday. Ridiculous. And I admit, I had issues at times trying to help her. It is true it you don't use it you lose it.
