Answer:
Yes, elementary school students obtain fair amount of homework. According to Time.com, the National Education Association recommends that elementary school students receive 10-20 minutes of homework per night in first grade. The amount of homework increases 10 minutes every following year, meaning in 5th grade, these students would be given 50 minutes of homework. These prepare students to expect more homework in middle school and high school, and helps to improve their thinking skills.
