How much homework is too much? How much is too little?
San Fran has a homework problem.
"In the San Francisco Unified School District’s student handbook, the policy regarding homework states that “the time required to complete such teacher-assigned work should not exceed 20 minutes per day in grades K-3 and 30 minutes per day in grades 4-5.”
Judith Kysh, San Francisco State education assistant professor, said even these guidelines are too steep for younger grades.
She said she would recommend 20 to 30 minutes per subject for high school students, much less for elementary students."
Maybe if the schools spent more time on the basics and no time teaching diversity, tolerance, sensitivity training, radical politics, etc, the kids could learn more in class and have less need for homework.
Learn in school, should be the real effort--end the play time for radicalism.
