We knew this going in and like the idea. I think you can have an age appropriate amount of work.
Still. Good on the parents. Assuming these people have somehow managed to have reasonably bright, adjusted kids who aren't cutting up kittens or themselves then they get to make whatever homework decision they want.
On another front I'm surprised in all this there hasn't been any mention of summer holidays. I want my kids doing homework, but not hours of it. Maybe if we tossed the idea that kids need a few months off they wouldn't have so much homework? Do year round schools have the same homework too?

I am not sure if you are a bit confused about the concept of year around schools.
While they operate and stay open year around, your child would not be in school for the whole year. Holidays are just more staggered. So instead of having 2 full months of a traditional summer holiday, you might have 3 weeks in summer, 3 weeks in winter, etc. And not everyone is on holidays at the same time.
