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.

You have the totally wrong attitude. I'm not sayin you should be all happy and love homework so much that you just wanta kiss it. I hate homework too.

If you just do your homework you'll have more time to do those things anyway.

When you reach college, outside reading becomes as important--if not more so--then lecture. The idea of making homework illegal is absurd, and would be more detrimental to your education than you can imagine. If you don't feel like you need to do the homework, then don't, but face the consequences. If you

You know what? If you can't even spell attention correctly, you need some Homework! Do you really think teacher's enjoy all the homework they give out? They have to do 25 times as much as all of you because she has to grade it! There must be a reason for all this homework then....The reason is because many people need more work on the lesson they just learned to get it down. Homework also gets you to become more familar with the concept.
