I suggest to my students that approximately 1/2 hour 4 - 5 nights a week
should be sufficient.  They are generally not taking more than 4 or 5
courses at a time, as we are on semester, which means that if all
teachers made the same recommendation, they would spend maybe 10 hours a
week doing homework.  Many of our students are holding part time jobs
outside of school, in addition to volunteer work and extracurricular
activities, so to ask more would likely be unreasonable, and they
wouldn't do it anyway.  I also leave them some discretion - since I don't
do homework checks, if they are busy the night I give an assignment, I
don't expect it done the next day, but I do suggest they find time to do
the assignments before the next test if they wish to do well on the test.
