I agree ConnectingDots and I still get kind of mad about the amount of homework in 3rd grade. Luckily, for us there isn't much busy work but more project based homework (3 weeks to put together a project on a country, a greek myth, and explorer etc). But still the occasional math and spelling homework can take 20-30 minutes. Which is a lot for a kid that needs an early bedtime.

I actually think my DD had more homework (and it was definitely busy work kind) in kinder and first than she's had in second and third.
