This passage has been assigned for a group
discussion to answer the question "Do students have
too much homework?" How will the article be most
helpful for the group?
Each school day, students head home with a list of
assignments. From reading chapters to writing reports to
preparing projects, students often have hours of
homework to complete each day. The National Education
Association recommends about two hours of homework
for high school students per day. However, many receive
three hours or more.
Some in the educational community claim that this is too
much and that students are overwhelmed. Research
shows that high levels of homework can result in
increased stress, weight loss, exhaustion, sleep
deprivation, and other issues. In a study in the Journal of
Experimental Education, 56 percent of the students cited
homework as their main cause of stress.
However, others say that the amount of homework has
not changed substantially. According to a 2014 Brookings
Institute's report on education in America, homework
Ilnad has remained stable since 108. Many adncators
for creating an agenda for the discussion
for identifying facts to support their opinions
for writing questions to clarify points of view
for reminding students about discussion rules
