[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does homework really help to educate students? I see the value in research, term papers and studying for tests, but I question the value of having homework every night. Have there ever been studies done on the educational results of every evening homework versus free study in preparation for assessments? We've had situations when the homework load was so great our children had little or no time to study for tests. We've even had situations when teachers have assigned lengthy homework assignments the night before a major test that was unrelated to the material being tested the following day. Sometimes, I wonder if the idea of homework is more for the purpose of teaching structure than content. Any thoughts?[/quote] I think there's value in homework; repetition tends to make concepts stick. I do think that the amount of homework is often over the top and counter-productive however.[/quote]
