Study finds that more than 70 minutes of homework a day is too much for adolescents

I definitely agree with the study- there are night where I’ll do five to six hours of homework after coming home from a 7 hour day. It’s impossible, especially when you try to fit in sports or extracurriculars. @NEPatsGirl‌ that’s awesome that your kids don’t have too much homework to be kept for doing other things such as community service, but in many cases limiting the homework as this study suggests would allow kids to do the stuff you have your kids do- but with the homework high schoolers get it is not possible for many of them. With the homework I do a night, there’s no way I could have a job on top of that and thankfully my parents get that. I think this limitation would be a great solution for a lot of kids and parents.
