Studies have shown that homework is very beneficial to kids in high school! I have at least about 2 hours of homework per night. Kids are getting lazier and lazier due to poor public education. American kids are not keeping up at all compared to China and India either.
funny you should mention that.... kids in elementary in CA might be on the verge of NEVER seeing homework again... or maybe it's the highschool kids... i know one will still be getting basic homework and the other will no longer get any... atleast that's what's proposed....

After years of teachers piling it on, there's a new movement to ... Abolish homework
