When all you see is more work, you lose all hope. It reminds me of those weird lab exercises in which the rat gets shocked no matter what it does.
There is definitely a No Child Left Behind aspect to this. I live in New York State and the homework load has always seemed about right (So far I'm 5 for 5 at having my kids go on to college on scholarship) My sister in Maryland tells me about her son's homework and it is appalling. He spent more time page per page analyzing a dumb "You are There.. on the Titanic" book than I did in college on a 400 level course dedicated to Joyce's Ulysses!
