[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold your horses everyone- did you read the article? We aren't talking about elementary students in this research study. 1. Students studied were second year of secondary school, so around age 13-14 2. This is not sweeping results that 5-6 yr olds need nightly homework! 3. This does communicate that math/science homework can be beneficial on a daily basis at that age range, 13-14 and likely above. 4. From the article: "Short-duration homework tasks, lasting up to 15 minutes, were shown to be just as effective as longer assignments. This suggests that regular, concise homework can promote learning without overwhelming students with excessive work."[/quote] I can tell you how much daily math homework my DC had last year as a 13-14 year old: None. He studied the day before each test, a bit. And no science homework at all, or studying. [/quote]
