Homework: one word that makes the heart of
many a parent sink and is guaranteed, at any
given time, to be causing rows in homes
around the world.
The homework debate has raged for decades.
How much homework should kids get? How
involved should parents be? And does it really
matter if it doesn't get done?
Recent years have seen a swell of support for ditching homework altogether; more than one
teacher has gone semi-viral for sharing a nohomework policy that prioritizes family time,
outdoor play, and early bedtimes. And some
schools have adopted no-homework programs,
encouraging students to enjoy their evening
free time and in some cases lengthening the
school day to provide more classroom
instruction.
Unbeknownst to many, there is an unofficial
homework standard, the "10-minute rule" that
was first proposed by Duke University
psychology professor Harris Cooper and is
supported by the National PTA and the
National Education Association. It's simple: a
daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework
per grade level. (First graders do 10 minutes of
homework each night; second graders do 20
minutes; third graders do 30 minutes, and so
on.)
Cooper is responsible for the most
comprehensive research on homework to date.
His 2006 meta-analysis, published in the
Review of Educational Research, found
evidence that students who did homework
performed better in school. However, the
correlation was stronger for students in seventh
through 12th grade. In earlier grades, the
relationship between homework and
performance was weak.
But Cooper's analysis shows correlation, not
causation. It begs the question: Does
homework lead to achievement, or do high
achievers simply do more homework?
Undoubtedly, some kids are less likely to kick
up a stink about doing homework than others.
Others actually want to do homework. The
point being, they're all different.
