Great news for students throughout the world who think their whole life is consumed by homework!
Researchers at the University of Oviedo in Spain tested the optimal amount of HOMEWORK a kid should do every night. They found kids should work for about 60 minutes . . . maybe 70 minutes max. That way they do the best work and get the most out of what they’re learning.
Once they go beyond that, it actually does more harm than good. At 90 to 100 minutes, they lose focus and don’t retain what they’re studying . . . and they actually do WORSE on tests. (Science Daily)
