Question: Are there laws concerning how many hours of homework a school is allowed to assign?

Answer: No. There are no laws that regulate how much homework can be assigned. But many school districts have policies that set guidelines for homework based on grade level. A student or parent concerned about homework should ask the school principal if the school district has guidelines.

I think we get too much homework. Teachers should give us less homework because we do enoug school work during the day. We learn too much. Not that that's a bad thing. We should just get less homework. That's all I'm saying. Bye!:)

Yeah, I think that there should be a law for having too much homework and that us, kids, teenagers, and anyone who has to go to school should have this law. I love to do other things other than homework and school. I watch my puppies, brother, am involved in plays, and then there's homeowkr, study for tests, and ISATS. This would be a great law. SET LIMITS FOR HOMEWORK!!!!

There should be because will be giving a whole bunch of homework. They don't understand that we have other classes and that they aren't the only ones who give it.

I agree with lance i spend way to much time worrying about school stuff. I dont even remember half the stuff i do anyways. I have no time to do anything these days not even on sundays. I wake up even earlier on a sunday to get school work done before church cause im overloaded. I wish someone would make a law that sets a requirement on an amount of homework that way kids dont have to suffer as much as we do. life is here to live and enjoy sure you have to work but not 14 hours a day of just SCHOOL.
