Effects on Academics

Common sense dictates that homework helps kids academically. Many subjects require some sort of practice or studying in order to properly learn them. Without homework, students are robbed of this necessary learning time. There are numerous studies out there to prove this. For the most part, these studies show a minimal increase in proformance for elementary school students, but the benefits of homework and study time seem to increase with age. Middle school students appear to benefit much more from homework than elementary student, and high school students benefit even more.
