What kid wants homework in any grade? Some isn't bad, but alot of kids get way too much. Once they are in college, they're adults and should be able to figure it out.

Time management is still the problem in college, partly because they had every afternoon and weekend free in K-12.

Again, if time management is an issue it's on the adults who are in college to figure out. I highly doubt issues didn't arise because kids weren't bogged down with homework throughout childhood.

You also highly doubt that water is wet? Or that Earth is round?

I think college KIDS/babies should be treated like KIDS and babies let them turn in work whenever they want, reminds them that they need to turn in the project, let them work on it in class and just give them a good grade for trying

Guess I'm a bad parent because I want my kids to enjoy their childhood. Oh well.

I think we all want that. But, isn't the goal to make them happy, responsible, and productive adults?

Of course it is. I just don't necessarily think homework does that. I was just replying to the snarky comments

Homework requires executive functioning and time management skills. Some people are naturally strong in these areas. But most kids learn them by getting increased demands on their time and increased flexibility in how they spend it. Most kids can’t just flip a switch and go from no demands outside if the classroom to 2-3 house of homework per an hour of class. They gt there step by step and learn things like chunking along the way.

PP is says college kids. 95%+ are legal adults.

I agree! Restore homework, especially in upper ES and in MS!

If MS students had 20-30 minutes of homework for each class they take each day, they'd only have 60-90 minutes of homework each night because they only take 4 classes each day, and certain classes (PE and Mascot Time) do not have homework. So even if a kid had a tough schedule (four core classes in one day), that means their other day is much easier, so they can split the homework up over the two days.

The schools not giving homework is contributing to the laziness of this generation.

4 x 30 is 120 minutes aka 2 hours. You want 12-14 year old kids to spend upwards of 8 hrs per week on homework?

My kid had a good 2 hrs of HW every night in MS. It prepared him well for a challenging HS and now he thinks college is easy.

When you are a student, your "job" is schoolwork. 8 hours a week sounds fine for MS, and probably keeps some kids from getting into trouble online and out of the home.

We really need to stop the idea that all MS kids will be nothing but trouble unless kept busy at all times. Their kids, and they should act like it. My friends and I had no problems being kids when we were in MS. No trouble and still had tons of fun.

I think you might need to do some English homework yourself.

Homework shouldn't be excessive, but having 20 minutes of math, 20 minutes of World Language, 20 minutes of English, and 20 minutes of other subjects combined is not excessive.

Wouldn’t it be more than 99%?

80 minutes in one night is a lot.

They don't magically figure out homework and studying in college.
