Homework

Homework

Hey Team



I posted this article yesterday on my twitter page.  It is a blog talking about homework for students.  It asks if you are assigned too much homework and wonders if it actually hurts student achievement.

Read the article and then answer these questions:

1. Do you agree with the article? why provide a specific example?

2. Do you work as hard as the students mentioned in the article (staying up late everyday and waking up early to finish) 
- How much time do you spend on work
- How much do you read on a nightly basis

3. Could your parents handle the work load?

4. Respond to 2 other students and challenge their assumptions on homework.
