Homework Overload

I understand the reasoning behind homework assignments. It is not that I think we should "never" have "any" of such assignments; but, REALLY, should we really be spending 4 to 5 HOURS studying after spending 7 to 8 hours AT SCHOOL?

As much as I would love to update (whoever it is that reads and cares) on the recent events in life - I have to get to those books.
