Too much homework?

I had a student today that mentioned to me that she said her parent thought I was assigning too much homework.  Please feel free to come to me if you feel that your child has too much homework.  I assign reading 20 minutes a night as well as spelling work three nights a week (per Quest’s policy).  The digital math that I have recently switched to should be done for a maximum of 30 minutes a night or until the child reaches 75%.  This enables me to see the struggles and not have to manually grade the assignments.  The purpose of the homework is not to take away from family time but simply to reinforce what we have done in class for the day.  If time allows I usually have them work on it or complete it in class.  I understand that students have extra curricular activities that take up their time, I have stated that as long as the work is completed by Friday it is not “missing.”  That does however mean that other nights will require more work.  
Anyway, I am happy to discuss this or any other issue with you during parent teacher conferences November 17th from 3:30-4:30.
