Think kids have too much homework these days? New research shows homework burdens are virtually unchanged over the past 30 years. USA Today says the share of 17-year-olds who say they spent more than two hours a night on homework was 13% in surveys from both 1984 and 2012. One recent survey found 46% of parents in one New Jersey township said their kids spend too much time on homework.
