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.

Personally, I think that you need to be assigned more homework. For one thing, you did not capitalize you're first "no," seconly, you did not have a comma after "fair," thirdly, you do not have an apostrophe in "thats," "schools," or "theres." Even though "that's" and "school's" are slang, you should atleast correctly punctuate them.

I THINK HOMEWORK SHOULD BE ILLEGAL BECAUSE ARE PARENTS HAVE TO PAY TAXES FOR THEM TO TEACH NOT FOR THEM TO GIVE US HOMEWORK. THEY ARE PAYING FOR PAPER THAT ISNT IMPORTANT. THEY'ER WASTING MONEY ON STUFF WE DONT NEED. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WRITE THE ANWSERS ON A WHITE BOARD BECAUSE HOMEWORK REALLY GIVES KIDS STRESS TRUST ME I SHOULD KNOW. SO PLEASE MAKE IT A LAW.
