"My earlier point was that the children shouldn't get so much homework that the parents effectively do a lot of it for the kids. I've seen that happen."

So have I. The problem in this case isn't too much homework, it is 'Rescuing Parents'. These parents are enablers and their children will grow up to be losers who never take responsibility for their failures. Children like this fail in social relationships, in any challenging endeavor, and often grow up with addictive personalities. Too much homework may at times be a problem but if it is, it is a separate problem... one having zero to do with the other.
