DS8 is in an HG 3rd grade now and doesn't get that much homework. Has she actually brought home that much work or is that just the teacher's wishful thinking?

It's too much for a second grade but as a working parent, I'm against homework. If they can't get it done between the hour I drop him off at school and the hour I pick him up, then it's too much for a child. I'd love to homeschool but we also need to eat so... >:(
