Two new studies indicate american children may not be as overwhelmed by
Homework as once thought.
A brookings institution analysis of homework research shows most kids aren`t
Swamped by homework assignments.
In fact, the director of the brown center on education policy at brookings says
Most kids have less than an hour of homework a night.
A separate rand corporation study suggests only one in ten high school students
Have more than two hours of homework a night.
The research also indicates that figure has remained steady for the last 50
Years.
The new reports fly in the face of recent theories that suggested homework
Hurts family life and provides little advantage for students.
The reports indicate american students should be glad they don`t live abroad.
International students normally spend about four hours a day on homework.
