Reply To: Is homework for our children actually important? Does it make any difference?

The only reason there should be homework is if a student didn’t finish their class work or studying for a test. High school girls for an example, finish at 5:00 (at least in my city) and then have 1 1/2 or so of homework! How is a girl supposed to help at home, have a social life and get to sleep at a reasonable time if she ends so late and has so much work?!?! For younger ages- the parents are the ones doing the homework anyway!
