Yeah, that sounds about right for his grade. Pretty normal. On top of the weekend homework assignments, most likely he will have one or two 'big' projects this year to do (science, etc) that will take several hours on the weekend, maybe two weekends in a row.
The nice thing is at least teachers usually give the kids tests on Fridays so they don't have to worry about them all weekend.
Kids do get a break, its called summer vacation. LOL. I think most people, if given a choice would much rather spend an extra hour or two at work on the weekend (any 1-2 hour slot they choose!!) and get mid- June to Sept off to do whatever they want! Whooo hoo-- we would be a very happy society!
Hang tough mom, the workload will only increase every year.
