I want people's opinions as to an appropriate amount of homework. I'm not looking for recommended hours per grade or whatever. I'm wondering whether you think homework in itself is of value to busy students these days. I'm talking about kids that are involved in sports, outside classes, "geeky" clubs, etc. My kids used to go to private school and got TONS of homework. Now they go to public school and are able to finish their assigned work in school because a lot of their schoolmates are in home situations that are not conducive to homework completion (semi-inner city school). In any event, I don't see a huge difference in the quality of their education, and I've come to the conclusion that amount of homework does not equate to quality of education. My nephew, however, feels that homework, and a lot of it, is a necessary part of education. Do you agree with me or my nephew (best answer to the person that substantiates their response even if they don't agree with me)?
