When I saw this thread had 3 pages, I knew, just knew, that somebody (or somebodies) had actually gone and played devil's advocate for the other side.

I went to the dark side. I don't think the kid should've been thrown out of class for his first offense, especially over homework. I also don't think the parents should've sued.

And that is pretty much the perfect amount.

I really hate hearing of nine and ten year olds having two to three hours of homework a night. I really hate it.

Totally agree.

My son's best friend is a 5th grader in a private school. She's given hours of homework, per night. Her parents push her, and she revolts and misbehaves in class. She does it because she's stressed out.

When I was in school, my grades weren't as good because, to me, homework was just a pain in the ass. A lot of it was just busywork, and I barely learned anything from it. I'd do it during lunch, studyhalls and on my bus, just to get it over with. Once I went to college, my grades actually got better because the work was more focused. We weren't given a half-dozen worksheets to fill out just to fill them out.

But if we don't give our kids hours of homework, the Japs are gonna pass us ...

Just wait until Turkey passes the U.S.
