I've worked with the teachers when needed, and it's been fan. They like having
a parent who is actually aware of their kid and engaged. When I explain what I think is best for the child, they have been ok with it.
The OP talked about an elementary kid having more homework than a teenager. That is NOT healthy for your child. Your child's health and sanity comes first. As I mentioned, I rarely opt out of homework from a teacher, but if my kid had 5 hours of homework a week in elementary school, you bet I would. My responsibility is to my child, and homework at that level research shows is detrimental to them.

POLL: If you have teens and elementary school children, who does the most homework? (if you don't have teens and elementary age children, feel free to either guess or think back to when you did)
