The 30-45 minutes of homework comes about partially because of my DS's procrastination. It should take less than 30 minutes, but in reality it takes longer. It is 15 minutes of assigned reading and discussing the 4 books he brings home (usually takes 20 - 25 minutes in reality because of interruptions and how long it takes him to actually start) and then a 2 sided worksheet (takes longer than expected as well). It usually takes more than 30 minutes, though, in reality, before all of the homework is completed. Not because it is difficult, but because it is hard to get him to focus on it as it is so uninteresting/boring. I think the teachers think it should take about 20 - 25 minutes. (He is in first grade.)
