Edmond,
Most teachers do not assign very much homework, especially writing. When I taught at a public high school in Arizona, three years ago, my students wrote three essays each year. Most of the work was done in class. This was department policy. Another teacher I know assigned an essay every three weeks. He was reprimanded for doing so. His contract was not renewed. At the public high school closest to my charter school, 9th graders in the International Baccalaureate program write one essay per term, three per year, according to my informants.
