[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And some studies find it helps. The question is where are the diminishing returns. As to your first point, most parents push schools to give MORE homework, OP.[/quote] Yes, they do. It gives parents a false sense of security. My kid has been in private school all of his years in school. I have heard from parents upset that there isn't a lot of homework. The teachers explain the well-studied data that shows hours on hours of homework every night can be counterproductive. The parents balk. They want to feel like they're getting the value of their $$$$ in tuition. No real tangible results (talking about elementary/middle) but they persist, so they can feel better about themselves (yes, themselves). Meanwhile, the kids suffer.
