The 10-minute rule, briefly
A long-standing guideline suggests about 10 minutes of homework per grade level each night — roughly half an hour in 3rd grade, an hour in 6th, two hours by senior year. It’s a rule of thumb, not a limit. The useful signal isn’t the exact number; it’s whether homework regularly runs far over — often a sign a student is working harder than they should have to.
