what is expected at your school? Aibu to think that 1.5 hours a day is quite a lot at this age?

Supposed to be an hour a day in our school. Sometimes it is and sometimes it ain't.

1.5 hours seems a lot! Dd hasn't been doing homework every night but did two chunks at the weekend and some bits through the week - I haven't timed, but I think last night she spend about 40 minutes on Maths and German.

Sorry can't recall the actual set amount. Do remember vividly that the girls school gave them huge amounts of homework initially then eased off after a couple of months though.

Too much; about 9 hours per week, then in Year 8 hardly any at all.

Can't remember exactly, probably about an hour to begin with. Havea DC in year 9, no homework yet!
