Too Much Homework!

How much homework do you do a night? Well, it's probably too much, and studies show that there are very few advantages to this. It needs to end. Students, the recievers show that there are few advantages to all of this homework from their teachers, the senders Students that do a lot of homework are shown to have lower scores on standardized test than those who only do some, countries that are smarter then the U.S on achievement test assign much less homework that teachers in America, and homework can even lower students grades.

With grade inflation being a major problem, colleges are upping the value of ACT scores and other standardized tests as a symbol as to how smart a student is. Since students are getting tired of doing all the homework, they are just doing the homework to get it done, and are not learning the concept. This will cause low scores on standardized test, and can lower the value of a high school education.

If countries like Japan and China are giving their students less homework, why does the U.S pile it on. Theses countries have shown they are much smarter that us on achivement test. This shown there is no proof that homework helps students learn.

Studies have also shown another very suprizing statistic that is raising some noise: In some cases the more homework a student gets, the lower the grade is. This is because the students are copying off eachother on all these long asignments or a just finding a way to get the answers. When the teacher gives the test out, the students are lost because they have learned nothing by the long homework assignments and this causes grades to go down even more.

If teachers keep giving more and more homework American eduacation will keep falling and falling. Studies have proven these statements, and the teachers need to wake up and listen to this feedback. With more and more homework, ACT scores are dropping, other countries, superior in education to the U.S assign much less homework, and the more homework teachers give out, the lower the test grades.
