Um, when I take a job it's usually with the understanding of "no nights or weekends". If I do work a night or a weekend it's once in a blue moon due to very extenuating circumstances. A lack of resource planning on my boss' part is not my problem. If I have to work constant evenings to get the job done, then I've got the wrong job.

Personally, when I give HW, it is only to reinforce concepts learned in class. It is not meant is 'busy work'.
Most teachers make it so that if students work in class, they can usually complete most of their homework without bringing any home.
If kids decide to goof off and mess around in class, then that's their choice.

I think that's the perfect attitude, but not all teachers are like that unfortunately. Most of my classes I could always finish my homework in class, but there was always a few teachers who, if they were teaching phys-ed, would get the students to dig a hole they could stand up in so they could fill it back up again. Or move a pile of dirt from one place to another.
