Homework has always been a dreaded task for students of all ages.

Whether it's a simple worksheet

or a complex project, the thought of spending hours after school completing assignments can be
overwhelming. But just how much time do students spend on homework? Let's take a look at the
average time spent on homework by grade.

Elementary School
It may come as a surprise, but even young students in elementary school are given homework. On
average, students in kindergarten to 5th grade spend about 30 minutes to an hour on homework each
night. This may not seem like a lot, but for a child who has already spent 6-7 hours in school, it can
feel like a never-ending task.

Middle School
As students enter middle school, the amount of homework increases. On average, students in 6th to
8th grade spend about 1-2 hours on homework each night. This can be a challenging time for
students as they are adjusting to a new school environment and more demanding academic workload.

High School
High school is notorious for the amount of homework assigned. On average, students in 9th to 12th
grade spend about 2-3 hours on homework each night. This may not seem like a lot, but when you
factor in extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and other responsibilities, it can be difficult to find
time to complete all assignments.

As you can see, homework can be a time-consuming task for students of all ages. It can also be a
source of stress and anxiety, especially for students who struggle with certain subjects. That's why
it's important for students to find a balance between school work and their personal lives.

benefits for the 25,000 eighth graders they studied. The next most popular activities are
?music?E(27.5%) and ?ballet, dance?E(13.7%). While the three most popular outside-of-school
activities are the same as in London, the percentage of students engaged in such activities is higher
than in London (Graph 2-17). If you are looking for ways to have a conversation about reducing the

students in other indirect ways that students do not usually acknowledge. Some have good places to
study, encouragement and support from family, and help when they need it. On top of the mental

emphasis on testing and homework than in schools in the UK. The mistakes made in homework
assignments do not count as much as the mistakes made on exams. Because of this, homework
serves as a way to measure how well they understand the material. Using these student information
systems, students and parents can see homework assignments and deadlines online and with little or

to 12 spent more than an hour a night on homework, while 37 percent of students in grades three to
six spent an hour or more on their homework per night. In higher grades, particularly, it is easy for
teachers to collectively bury students in homework without even knowing that they are doing it. Mrs.
Kimberlin, an English 3 and AP Lit teacher, says that homework is an important part of the learning
process for “when students need to practice individually.” She also said that the level of the class
students are taking definitely affects the work they get. “In English, reading paces differ, so some

viewed homework as practice for class exams. In addition, they both viewed homework as work
needed to be completed outside of the classroom. So the authors conclude that homework is
reinforcing the achievement gap between the rich and the poor. Alli Rhodes, a sophomore, said,

it gives us a few chances at easy grades.” Homework Through Symbolic Interactionism Junior Nancy
Rodriguez, Sophomore Mandie Medina, and Freshman Steven Garza discuss perspective of
homework When using the symbolic interaction paradigm to study homework’s role in the
contemporary college classroom, we noticed that homework symbolizes different things to the
students and the professors. In the three cities in the US and Europe studying outside of school is
centered on school homework while in Tokyo and Seoul many hours are spent on study other than
homework. Professors know that large lectures can be intimidating, and that the fast pace of college
life may often make difficult meeting and making new friends. The value of homework for learning
is a much debated issue. (See Rethinking Homework by Alfie Kohn and The Case For and Against
Homework by Robert J. Various factors, from the race of the student to the number of years a
teacher has been in the classroom, affect a child's homework load. It's a big question for pupils,
teachers and parents alike. Some have good places to study, encouragement and support from family,
and help when they need it. We wish to discover what homework symbolizes to both students and
teachers and how these views overlap or differ.
In addition to perceiving homework as practice for an exam, professors also view homework as a
stimulant of student interaction and as a voyage of discovery. While some students don’t have near
that amount of work per night, even the students with less than 6 hours of work a night feel like the
amount of homework is too much, due to clubs, sports, and after school jobs being factored in.
Professors, however, view homework as a challenging practice that prepares the student for the exam
by recreating the test-taking atmosphere. However, sometimes if homework is taking longer than
anticipated, it can be a sign that what was taught in class didn't sink in. Professors know that large
lectures can be intimidating, and that the fast pace of college life may often make difficult meeting
and making new friends. Take school where much of the content is new in the sense it is building

concepts. Also, this idea of homework allows the introvert, the student does not interact with others,
to discover any flaws in his or her grasp of knowledge in private. The top readers answered 66
percent of these questions correctly, compared to only 39 percent correct for the bottom readers. This
one is fairly obvious: The National Education Association recommends that homework time increase
by ten minutes per year in school. (e.g., A third grader would have 30 minutes of homework, while a
seventh grader would have 70 minutes). Students who read between just over a half-hour and an
hour per day saw the greatest gains of all. In all cities most students responded ?E0 minutes?Efor
time spent on homework. When students have 8 classes, it is easy for the homework to stack up.
Increasingly, teachers are using online tools to assign homework, track completion and record grades.
People were almost evenly split on whether high school students have too much homework (37%), or
not enough (34%). In this setting, students become the teachers as they help each other with
homework and, in turn, solidify their knowledge of the material. Students spend up to 6 hours a
night on homework in pursuit of good grades. Consequently in this survey study school and lesson
related questions were established in line with the situation in each city. A walk through walk a
college campus will reveal that most students find themselves working on homework assignments,
whether independently or in groups. A significantly larger amount (34%) think that high school
students don’t have enough homework assigned to them. So let them do it for 5 minutes, then take a
5 minute break, then continue for another 5 minutes to complete. Baby boomers (people who are 55
years or older) were the most likely to be “strongly opposed”: 46% chose this answer. In addition,
we asked this same sample of students to define homework and explain what it means to them. The
question remains, do our teachers realize we have other classes and obligations. International
comparisons confirm that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to educational success. As one
professor stated, “my best work isn’t done alone, but in groups,” a way for students to make the
most out of their homework is to work in groups. What if we made a few additional minutes of daily
reading practice a reality for all struggling readers. In contrast one in four students in Seoul
responded ?more?E(more than 3.5 hours) indicating that the amount of time spent studying is
remarkably high. Homework is an everyday activity, so everyday advantages add up.
A lot of students have jobs; some work more than others, but regardless, working on top of
schoolwork and extracurriculars is too much for teenagers. Even though the amount of sleep students
get due to homework is detrimental to their health and well being, don’t expect change to happen
quickly. How do you think homework best supports student learning. However, in high school,
almost every class assigns homework, projects, or tests and quizzes to study for nightly, making this
number almost impossible to obtain. To the students, homework symbolizes grades and practice.
Among nine-year-olds, there was only an 18-point difference between children who reported reading
“never or hardly ever” and those who read “almost every day.” By age 13, the gap widened to 27
points. Many colleges require AP classes to be taken in high school, leaving students no choice but to
take on the extra workload. A student can discover his or her strengths and weaknesses and thus
determine what material requires more attention. People in the 18-34 range were also far more likely
than the total population to say they generally had too much homework when they were students
(43% vs 31%) and that they believe high school students today also generally have too much
homework (44% vs 37%). Perhaps that’s because there are diminishing marginal returns to homework
after 11 hours of it. In Beijing there is no visible trend in the length of time spent for studies.
Professors, as a result of having been a student at an earlier point in their lives, view homework as a
more dynamic tool that benefits students in many dimensions. But Finland, for example, succeeds
without much homework. However, this is not the case, leaving many students overwhelmed and
unmotivated. A mere 18 percent of students read 30 minutes or more per day, and another 28 percent
had 15 to 29 minutes of daily engaged reading time. Specifically, they found that homework hours
vary by socioeconomic status. Alli Rhodes, a sophomore, said, “sometimes I spend more time
stressing about homework than actually doing it.”. Take school where much of the content is new in

anxiety students undergo during class examinations. It's what enables basketball players to sink free

reading homework for various lengths of time. However, there is a subtle distinction between these
views. The Canadian Council on Learning, having done a systematic review of the research on
homework concludes: Homework helps, but not always. (pdf). On top of the mental and physical
exhaustion excessive homework causes, the lack of time to complete it causes students to stay up
later. Could this help more students reach grade-level goals. Whereas students perceive only one
main function of homework, the practice of material before an exam, professors credit homework to
have multi-dimensional functions. These are a series of short summaries of specific educational
issues that emerge from four different national or international assessment tests. Halloween Fun at

If teachers assigned homework made to help us rather than just to make us do something, all our
lives would be a little nicer. NAEP results show that students who read more frequently have higher
scores—and the score gap between frequent readers and infrequent readers gets bigger as students
get older.
