I think that an 8th grade student should get a fair amount of homework and classwork. We will be going into High school next year and if we get a low amount of work, we will be surprised and shocked about the amount of work in high school. We will basically get "pounded" with work. I think that we should get a medium amount so that we can be somewhat ready but noy too much because then we will get stressed and overwhemed since we didn't get that much work in 7th Grade.
last year i was in year 8 in Australia and we had 1hr and 1/2 of home work. it just depends on how fast your work speed is!
They should have 1.5-2 hours of homework every night.
at least 1-2 hours per night.
The amount of homework a student should have depends on the grade they are in and other factors. Grades K-2 should not have very much homework. Starting in grade 3, students can have more homework, but not so much that they get discouraged or feel a lot of pressure. As students get older, they could have more homework, but again, not so much that they are overwhelmed or have to spend the entire evening doing homework. Middle school and high school students should be able to handle whatever homework they are given as long as it is not so much that they honestly cannot get it done if they are trying to do it.
not to much but not to little so right in the middle
What I like about grade 7 is that is easier than any other grades higher than it, and you don't get much homework.
You should be getting between 30-60 minutes per class a night.
You should be challenged, but not totally overwhelmed. Click on the Related Question to see how much that would be per grade.

Too much homework can lead to stress, burnout, and reduced sleep quality in students. It can also limit time for extracurricular activities and social interactions, which are important for overall well-being and development.
It depends on how much they set. There should be at least three hours of homework per week per subject - any more than that and you are receiving too much. However, if the amount of homework is decreased too much, it defeats to point in setting it. Homework is set to not only test your understanding of a subject without teacher aid, but also to get you to work on your own. This means that, if homework was indeed decreased, there would be less chance for you to work on your own and, therefore, you would lack the practice when you get onto further or higher education.
To Counter your question, homework is not bad, EXCEPT when the content of the homework does not sufficiently provide the teaching tools needed to allow the student to keep up with the class, and when it cannot help the student learn anything from the previous lesson. Then the homework is bad. When an assigned homework can provide a great way of teaching and challenging the student, then its great homework.
For high school students who typically have five classes with different teachers, that could mean as much as 17.5 hours each week. By comparison, the survey found middle school teachers assign about 3.2 hours of homework each week and kindergarten through fifth grade teachers assign about 2.9 hours each week
There have been no studies done on this, sorry
