son is in 5th grade. How long hw takes depends on how stubborn he wants to be. He usually finishes in 15 minutes but half of it will be wrong and all of it will be sloppy. Then I'll make him do it again, and he'll mope and play the piano and pet the cats, then finally redo it.

All in all I don't think that any kind should have more than about an hour of homework, and none on the weekends. I'd rather have them creating things than doing rote work. Calvin has screen time limits, and ends up drawing and playing the piano a lot. I think those are more important to his future than doing yet another page of math drills.
