You're question is difficult to read, but I think what you're trying to say is that your daughter doesn't like doing her homework and lets it pile up, so then it's taking about 5 hours to do it all in one shot??!!
You need to get a stiff backbone and start a routine. When she comes home, before she can do ANYTHING else, she has to get her homework done, if not then you need to start taking away toys/items that she uses the most (personal tv, computer, game station, make up, perfume, jewelry etc.) If friends come over or call up...you be the one to answer the door and telephone and tell them she can't play because she doesn't have her homework done.
If it becomes an issue where she is leaving homework at school and coming home to say that she has everything done, then you will need to go to the teacher. With the teacher, you'll need to work out a system similiar to this: Get a scheduler or even a notebook with dividers in it to store loose homework sheets will do. Have the teacher write down her homework on a page and put the homework in the divider. It must go home with her, and you must sign it saying you saw it and that she's completed the homework. Then it goes back to school with her. (Our school does this already).
This will ensure that she's not leaving homework at school unfinished and getting bad grades for it.
You'll really have to be strict and keep good tabs on this...if you slack off then so will your daughter. If you get her in this routine then you can make judgements about how she is doing at school pertaining to any physical nature that could contribute to making it difficult to do homework (vision probs, learning disabilities etc.) Make her accountable for her actions and let her see you mean business.

Take her to the dr. and have a scan of psychiatric tests run. Maybe there's a physical reason she's having such a hard time. Maybe she's dyslexic. My son had a "coding" problem. He couldn't copy things from one place to another in a timely manner. If she loves school, it seems very counterintuitive that she would hate her homework unless something is keeping her from doing it easily. She loves school, so I'm assuming she's bright, and homework should be easy. No child that age should be required to study for 5 hours after school. I'd talk to the teacher and let her know that your limit is 1-2 hours. After that, whether she's done or not done, the child needs some downtime.

As a teacher, I know how frustrating this is. She probably loves to go to school for the social aspect, but does not or cannot attend to the academics. Have you had your daughter tested? Vision screened? Your daughter may not be able to attend to her work. Scolding and taking away things will not work if she simply cannot stay focused. This is something that she cannot fix on her own. I strongly suggest that you talk to your doctor about her school work. Tell him/her what your concerns are and he/she will know what to do next.
Good luck and stay positive!

Why do we even have homework!? What's the point!? We've already spent eight hours at school! Five hours of homework for an eight year old!? That's ridiculous! Teachers need to understand that we can't just waste our whole night doing homework after school!

I had the same problem with my son. He's 10, and almost got left back because of homework.
First off, you should have her evaluated for ADD/ADHD. That makes it VERY hard for them to focus. (I have ADHD and so does my son, so I know of what I speak.)
Secondly, you should sit down and think about your daughter... what does she like/like to do?
What I do with my son is a "barter" system. We exchange homework time for time to do what HE wants. He wants to watch 30 minutes of television, he has to "pay" me with 30 minutes of homework UP FRONT. When we go to the movies, we don't "pay" after the movie, right?
;)
Good luck. Kids can be challenging!

I'm sorry, can you rephrase that in correct English? I have no idea what your question is.
