Summary
The researcher who recommends 10 minutes nightly per grade never found evidence to support it. That researcher, Harris Cooper, found the opposite.
"There is no evidence that homework improves academic performance.”
The tragedy is that homework has caused good parents to force children to stop activities that are evidence-based, like time playing, outside, time talking, interacting with people, and a bedtime. The academic benefits come when we eat dinner with the family, maintain a bedtime routine, engage in music training, or read a book by choice.
No need to nag or grade traditional homework. Instead, know what actually works. You will change your life, and the lives of your students!
