[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 am thrilled that our private, while not loading my 3rd grader up with homework, wants her to review her spelling words and math facts every night. It doesn't take long and prepares her regularly. With my current middle schooler I see the lack of the kind of brief nightly practice from 4th through 6th hurt her ability to rapidly solve more complex algebra problems correctly.[/quote]
