Homework

A general belief is that how we perform in school is affected by the amount of homework that is completed, however research has shown this is not so. Homework is assigned to students to make sure that they are understanding the material that were gone over in class, it was traditionally thought of as a way for the teachers to give students something that they either did not get to or did not elaborate on in class.

As I said above the average load for homework in the U.S is, 18.5 hours a week. In finland the average workload a week is 2.8 hours on homework per week.
