If it is taking hours at night, it sounds like an education system problem. Kids have more homework, and ACT scores are down to the lowest point in twenty years, even with making the test easier.
One thing I notice is study halls seem to be non-existent anymore along with required PE. I think having both of those need to be required again.

Yeah, my kids spend their home room/study hall socializing. So that valuable time gets tacked on to homework at night. And they are taking tough courses that require more studying that on-level courses. Their grades are good and stress levels seem low, so I think it's ok for our family. But time management is critical and they don't have much time to goof off (on Monday - Thursdays).
All my kids did have to take PE throughout elementary/middle/HS so that trend might be changing.
