(If you'd like to use it, I've added the full text at the end of the post so that you can copy, paste, and edit as you wish.) You can see that we didn't COMPLETELY do away with homework. “What it’s really doing is shaping their behavior, so they begin to learn how to study at home. First of all, here is the homework philosophy that we presented to parents and students at the beginning of the school year. “Is (homework) going to cause a great leap in (students’) achievement? No it is not,” he said. While homework is not a significant predictor of academic success in early grades, Cooper said, it does create good study habits that will help students as they get older “You may have brought home a pre-test for spelling on Thursday before you take a test on Friday, and you did better because you brought the pre-test home.”
Too much homework can bore students and take away from other valuable experiences, like after-school clubs and playtime, he said. He said all students should have some homework, but the amount and type of homework should vary depending on age and developmental level.Ĭooper said he believes in the 10-minutes-per-grade-level-per-day standard. Harris Cooper, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, has studied the correlation between homework and academic success. But others say homework shouldn’t go away completely, even for younger students.
