Okay, I don't want to say that it's legitimate to do your
kid's homework, but if you have six subjects, an hour of
homework in each is going to leave no time for anything
in the child's life but schoolwork and sleep.

There are several options available: 1) You write notes to each
teacher
quoting the district's time-limits on allowable homework allotments
when
a child is given homework that he cannot complete. This might seem
flimsy and contrived but it works for many parents that do not feel
their child should be doing such make-work, college-level-consuming
homework.

Do all districts have policies like this? That *does* sound like it
would help, I just never heard of it before (my child's too young for
homework so I'm kind of clueless about how this stuff works from an
adult perspective).
