As a teacher, I completely agree with backing off with the homework. Students are overloaded as it is with standard tests and all the other perdons of being a kid. Parents and teachers tend to put too much pressure on students now a days. They no longer have time for play with all the extra curricular activities on top of 2 or 3 hours worth of homework. I taught 3rd grade and I gave out 20 mins of homework. The math sheet they had was always to practice the skill we had learned. As students get into the older grades, the homework becomes outrageous and it is unfair to the students and their parents. It can be even unfair for the teacher! We don't get paid for the overtime and with all the papers we have to correct, we are working every evening after school and on the weekends!

Students are developing young human beings. They have needs beyond cramming all the books the school considers important into their heads, such as sports, time with family, church groups, free play, part-time jobs, etc. Each of these activities develop the child's personality, confidence, and skill in ways that cannot be attained in a strictly academic environment.
Americans have been known for their ingenuity, and if all the youngsters' time is spent learning information to regurgitate at school, they will not have time to develop their unique gifts. Creativity and flexibility will suffer.
Also for younger students especially, many of the skills being learned at school are developmental in nature. You can practice endlessly on some things, but the skill will develop when as the child matures without excessive work.

I once had a teacher (12th grade English class) tell me that EVERY class should have 2 or more hours of homework assigned every night. When I pointed out that his idea meant that every student would have more than 12 hours of homework per day, he just shrugged. The same guy also demanded that we treat his class as the most important of all of our classes, no matter what we were taking.
Quite frankly, a teacher shouldn't have to rely on homework teaching the students. Homework should be short exercises allowing a student to practice the lesson quickly while showing their knowledge of the subject and providing something to be graded.

so the books don't break their backs on the way home. At least make everything able to be put on a lap top than the schools supply the first one for the whole year. If it gets broke they are responsible for the next one or at least half of it

There is no reason to limit the amount of homework.
Excessive homework can be used to seperate the "men from the boys" as they progress through school.
Those that don't do their homework will fall behind and eventually drop out.

Teachers are experienced guiders, and teachers. And if he/she is a good teacher, they know they cannot overload the children, or they won't understand what they are supposed to be learning, because they cannot understand too much at one time.
