I was curious to how much homework is being assigned in different states and countries. My son just started 4th grade 2 weeks ago and thanks in part to the new "No Child Left Behind" and resultant state requirements he spends no less than 4 hours, and as many as 5-6 hours a night doing homework. The result is that my wife and/or I also have to spend working the same time my son through a lot of it. It seems to me that being in school for 6 hours then having another 5 hours of homework is a lot for an 8-9 year old kid.
What is school like in Germany? In other countries?

I don't have a kid, so I answer for myself: I don't do homework. We don't have any
