In my school we get maths homework every Monday for 30 minutes and on Thursday we have maths homework again for about 45 minutes. We also revise for regular science tests and do English homework at weekends. Sometimes we spend 10 minutes on homework and other times one to two hours when we need to do really good work for our school reports.
If I was in charge of homework I would keep it but make it less. I would make everyone spend a minimum of 10 minutes on homework and a maximum of an hour. If anyone wants extra work they could ask the teacher to set something. I would liven it up by adding fun activities rather than make students copy sums and equations from textbooks.
