put in an effort and do homework. They may think they understood, but they may have missed some
salient point or misinterpreted something the teacher said. It causes stress and could result in serious

learner myself, I learn best by doing things practically, rather than sitting down writing stuff down on
a sheet of paper. Nevertheless, great presentation of your points and I admire you for sharing this.

weekends and evenings, students can’t have enough time for that. Whether this affected the students
ability to master the material we studied is probable, but I don't really know. One talked too much,
while the other said too little. For example, their parent may have told them to be home by a certain
time or is waiting for them in the pick-up queue—a common scenario these days. Learning should

more than four hours of horrifying homework a week isn’t very beneficial. This means that the
benefits of homework tasks as the learning tool are entirely lost. I saw even more evidence of broken
families when my own kids were in school. I think homework gets a bad rap because there IS
evidence to indicate that it is beneficial to learning, provided it is high quality work and not “busy
work.” I also think that it’s important for students to learn the value of a routine — I go to school, I
come home, I have a snack, I do homework, I go to soccer, mommy drinks a lot of wine ?? — so that
when the homework does get to be harder, more intense, they can ease into it. And I think it was

spans, and having to sit and do homework after they've had to sit through the same material all day
at school is a recipe for resentment and frustration. But I really hate that we are expected to spend
time on this at home when we are pretty much clueless. If I did have kids, I would agree that they
need time to just be kids. We rarely do it. When I get a quarterly report of what she needs to work

for the primary grades and I have found that teachers follow that. My son is in Kindergarten and has
one worksheet a night, which is fairly easy, but we just about find the time to do that. Research
shows that homework mostly benefits high school students and older. This is because some parents
or tutors are the ones doing these assignments. Even if the work itself is not difficult, simply getting
them to do it is a frustrating struggle. You May Also Like Determine the Causes of Academic Failure

able to commit as much time to every task as he should. I do think you are correct that there is a
deficit of challenging curricula for the more advanced students. Education experts have demonstrated
