    Helpful? No way. It's just busy work that doesn't really teach kids anything new and robs them of allll of their other time that they should be investing in their relationships and other activities.
    "...many countries with the highest scoring students, such as Japan, the Czech Republic and Denmark, have teachers who give little homework. "At the other end of the spectrum, countries with very low average scores -- Thailand, Greece, Iran -- have teachers who assign a great deal of homework...Undue focus on homework as a national quick-fix, rather than a focus on issues of instructional quality and equity of access to opportunity to learn, may lead a country into wasted expenditures of time and energy."

    • Do you think it's all busy work or can there be value in a well thought out assignment?
