This is indeed very useful, without them it's like having a destination without a roadmap. If unsure of your curriculum guidelines, they do tend to differ between States (although I understand that may be changing) ask your child's teacher; what is expected from your child? depending on age this will vary accordingly. If you are unsure, have them go through it very clearly. This way if your child comes home and they do not understand what they are meant to do, you will be able to guide and encourage. Homework is meant to be fun, not a chore. In our household, this point varies from day to day despite my best intentions. If your child is not completing their set homework advise your child's teacher. This may be through a 'communication book' you set up, that way any issues stay private within the classroom. Share concerns, as there may be other reasons as to why this is happening. It could require a little monitoring and tweaking as a result. When children are tired it may be in their best interest to make this session a little shorter, or you may decide that it is best left for that night. Being intuitive helps us all.
In Learning :)
