This is less than my DD was assigned in 2nd at a gifted magnet, but the HW is and has always been a major sore point. She had 30 minutes of reading aloud (yes, it was aloud in 2nd, though I eventually asked for and got an exemption--she read silently) and 15-30 math problems every day, plus spelling, writing, science, and social studies assignments throughout the week, for a total of at least an hour a day. I don't endorse it and I don't know if it's typical. But that's what it is. In fifth, we are at about 1.5 hours a day, but sometimes much less or much more--oddly inconsistent.
