New Study Indicates High School Teachers Assign 3.5 Hours of Homework Per Night


The story below is from ED Week and shares the average hours of homework assigned by HS teachers. The student indicates the average assigned work is 3.5 hours per night. As parents and teachers, what do you think? First, is there a flaw in the study or is this an accurate figure. Personally, I think the average is inflated. One curious point or question relates to the percentage completed as opposed to assigned by the teachers. Please share your thoughts on this issue.


Now that you have reviewed this study, please share your thoughts. I would love to hear from teachers – how many hours per night do you assign? What percentage of your students complete the entire assignment? Are your assignments designed to reinforce previous learning?
