homework load

After-school task pile

Homework load is the total amount of homework assigned to a student over a given period.

The term frames assignments as a burden to be carried: The homework load in AP classes can be overwhelming.

Parents and educators debate appropriate homework loads for different grade levels.

A heavy homework load leaves little time for other activities; a light one may not challenge students enough.
