Description:
How much time should a student spend on homework?
Many teachers follow these homework guidelines:
* Grades 1-3: 20 minutes of homework per day * Grades 4-6: 20 to 40 minutes per day * Grades 7-9: 2 hours per day
Some schools set policies while, in other schools, teachers may set homework limits for their classes. Some students can handle more homework than others (Office of Educational Research and Improvement [OERI], 1995).
"For children in grades K through 2, homework is most effective when it does not exceed 10 to 20 minutes each day. Most children in grades three through six can handle 30 to 60 minutes a day" (Chaika, 2000).
