It is very reasonable to request reduced workload and modified assignments.  You should also insist that your child not miss recess due to unfinished classwork.  It doesn't make sense to me that the teacher feels as though she can sneak in the homework during the day and use recess as a threat...when your earlier posts suggest that at times he does not even finish the typical classwork...let alone homework during the day.

 

Does he lose recess now on a typical basis?  If so, perhaps this is triggering some of the after school problems.  I told my sons school that if he is to lose recess than he needs to be given "physical work" to do rather than sitting at his desk doing nothing.  He can dump trash cans, dump recycling, carry reems of paper upstairs to the upper grade teachers.
