In Finland we do the previous, US is strongly in the latter camp.
A 5th grader (11-12yo) has maybe 10-25 minutes of homework, on some days there just isn't any.
Math homework is just a rehash of what they went through in class, Languages are "read the chapter and answer these questions", other subjects tend to be just "read the chapter".
And a "chapter" is like 1-3 pages of sparse text with pictures and diagrams.
