How much homework should my fifth grader have?

Homework is practice and reinforcememt of the skills and concepts 
  
that the students learn during the school day. Your child should 
be 
working 30 to 40 minutes each night(average).Many factors can 
influence this time amount, including how much the student 
completes 
during the school day, the rate at which the child works or the 
environment in which he or she is working. Please let me know if 
you 
feel the amount of homework is not right for your child.
