I don't have children, nor I used to do my homework, so I speak from the highness of my inexperience... But a nice way to handle the to1 many homework is to us

  Yep I do this. Every night, sitting at the kitchen table, doing a little work but mostly answering questions, checking to see if that computer is really doing homework and not something else. It's for solidarity, not nagging. Frankly it's way too much work for kids and not enough idleness. But when I try to put a stop to it's the kid who objects. He's fearful that if he messes up his whole life is screwed. When I point out that his parents didn't follow the straight-and-narrow he just says "well it's different these days". Oh, and another cost of this: I can only work on low-concentration tasks, so have to catch up on the rest of my work (professional or domestic) between midnight and 7AM, by either going to bed late or getting up early.
