Spiral Notebook » Do today’s students have too much homework?:
It’s all over the news: Kids are spending a lot of time on homework. And, according to some, it’s far too much.
Most of the research that I’ve read says that there shouldn’t be any homework assigned at the elementary level, barely any at the middle school level, and some at the high school level. Homework promotes bad work habits. If the student doesn’t have a firm grasp of the material, the student may spend a couple of hours doing homework the wrong way. How long will it take the student to relearn the material? Another myth is that homework promotes responsibility, when in fact, the research has shown that homework doesn’t do anything to make a student more responsible.
