This is a cross-post, but I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of some kind of "benchmark" for the amount of time a child should be spending on homework. My daughter "Buggy" transferred to a private school this year, and this is her first year of formal homework (other than when I was supplementing her at home to keep her interest up).
I seem to remember something like a certain number of minutes per grade level, but I could be wrong. She completed her week's worth of homework in about an hour. Of course, it's only the first week, and they may be easing them into it. I am trying to find the right level of challenge for her so she can learn to apply herself, but yet not overwhelm her.

Any ideas?
