My generation's grade schools: 20 min playground time after morning bus drop off, 30 min after eating, a 15 min recess and PE time. In the evening, we had 30 min of homework total.
My kids grade schools: 15 min playground time after eating. The 5-6 classes gave 30-60min of homework, each. So it was home, eat, homework, cubscouts/etc, eat, homework, bathe, bed.
It was almost just as well. There was ~nowhere for them to go past the yard (and 92°/90% humidity+heavy gnats).
