  3. Conclusions • The typical student, even in high school, does not spend more than an hour per day on homework • The homework load has not changed much since the 1980s • The students whose homework increased in the last decade are are those who previously had no homework and now have a small amount • Most parents feel the homework load is about right

  4. Recommendations • Take anti-homework articles with a grain of salt • Follow the PTA guidelines on homework • Understand that homework varies • If a homework problem exists, solutions should come from parents and teachers, not policy interventions
