My wife and I have 4 children, ages 21, 17, 16 & 12. With 16 years of experience of having kids in school I can tell you there is much more homework given today than what I had when I was in school in the 70's and early 80's. As elementary school students my kids were coming home with homework that took 1-2 hours to complete. Seems like once they hit middle school, grades 6th thru 8th, the homework lightened up a bit, but not by much. I now have two in high school who have several hours of homework each night at a minimum. Now, they are both enrolled in advanced placement physics, which takes a lot of their time each night. But they both have quite a bit of homework in their other classes also.
It's tough. My three kids who are still at home go to their mother's office after school. The two oldest work for her part time, so on the days they are not working they can get an early start on their homework. But they do not get home until anywhere from 6:00 to 6:30PM each day, and usually work on homework until bedtime, only stopping for supper. I am very fortunate that all my kids make very good grades, and for the most part do not complain about the homework. My oldest daughter, who is in college, doesn't make if home very often because of having to do homework all weekend. She is in her fourth year of college, and will graduate this year with a major in Criminal Justice and double minors in Phsycology and Arabic. One more year after this and she will have her masters degree.
I am very proud of all of my children, and if this is the result of all the homework they have/will have during their elementary and high school years, then I think it's a good thing.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
