Homework too easy

Students and parents may complain often and loudly about the homework load these days, saying it has created a stressed-out generation. But a new report contends that is not so and that many students actually don’t do enough – or challenging enough – math and reading.

“If students are going to succeed in the competitive global economy, they need to be exposed to a rigorous curriculum. But many students believe their classwork is too easy,” said the study by the Center for American Progress, a liberal-leaning think tank in Washington.

Yeesh! We’ve been fortunate to send our kids to excellent schools. If anything I felt there was too much homework.

How much time do you think kids should be spending on homework?
