IMHO, my kid was assigned way too much homework. One year I eventually told her to do some amount per class (I think it was 45 minutes) and then be done with it so that she would have time for sports and family stuff. She was spending 4 or 5 hours every night on homework and this was in 4th grade.

That year I sent an email to her teacher to let them know that I'm the one responsible for her not doing all the work and if that's a problem, we need to talk. It wasn't a problem.

The one class that was flipped was a relief because she could breeze through the lesson much faster than would normally be spent on it in class and the amount of time on exercises was limited to the class time slot.
