[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fine with hard work and high expectations but how effective is 5 or more hours of homework? surely there's a point of diminishing returns[/quote] That's how much we had at ncs in the 90s[/quote] The late 1990s is about when the PISA study started to look into comparing countries and found the US to be sorely lagging. We've been playing catch up ever since. So maybe the 1990s isn't the best reference point, unless you make an argument that we need even more homework.[/quote] I do not think the NCS students in the 90s are to blame for this country's failure to outshine other countries academically. I would put a fair amount of money on those girls holding their own internationally. I am not a graduate, but know some from that era quite well.[/quote]
