[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Homework survey

[Lesley Farmer]

A survey found a big disconnect between teachers and parents when it
comes to homework. Veteran teachers said homework is crucial to
students' academic success in school. Most assigned homework to help
students build skills like reading comprehension or to help them
prepare for tests. One out of four teachers rated the quality of their
homework as "excellent." But one-third of parents rated the quality of
homework only "fair to poor." Parents also complained that there's too
much homework — that it takes up way too much time and deprives their
children of sleep.The MetLife survey of the American teacher: the
