Homework recognized harmful to children

How many "people" invented jokes about homework - by words and articles made from acorns to logarithms - and finally his word of "homework" decided to put in the experts. "We found no evidence that homework helps children learn better in school," - admitted professor at Duke University Harris Cooper.

Shocking truth, both for teachers and for parents who sit until midnight with their offspring on the notebooks, textbooks, contour maps, abstracts... And that same torment hours, sleepless nights and shed rivers of tears - it all in vain?

I personally have a memory of the vigil over "vіrshem" Kamenyarі "Іvana Frank" shudder. Barely learned, because that morally resisted content, he said at the board on shaky legs and excitement out of my head... But he could spent on "verses the" time to pay favorite historical novels, leaf through the encyclopedia, to dream. A problem in the geometry (of this inscribed and circumscribed circles!) Have to lick the battery on my knees? A summary of 15 sheets of pro... of a chemist? Yes, each of us there is no one "is" memory.

What are the facts?

Without homework can not be school - this idea is so ingrained in our minds, that we, adults, even to the injured "homework" at the time, it is difficult to question their value.

Indeed, whether or not torture the children? Not worth it. It turns out that the students of primary schools, engaging in class easier to learn the material and show the best results. With these findings of the study, University of Arizona, can not agree.
The study showed that even in high school homework provide minimal effect.
And additional tasks at home - it's a lot of precious time that we take away from our children.

Number - in quality

In high school, without repetition is indispensable. But here at home jobs should observe reasonable limits. According to expert studies, the students, who spend half an hour on the repetition, showed the best results are better than those who broods over textbooks 4 hours and more. Fantasy? No, just the features of the central nervous system.

Experts on the soap?
If you think that the American study - it is a profanation, do not rush to conclusions. Professor Cooper conducted 180 studies (!), From 1996 to 2006, and was unable to find conclusive advantages homework. It became clear one: homework, especially volume, has a negative effect on the ratio of children to school.

The child, who had just come to school to learn, gets a huge array of what you need to bone up, and a month later begins to "sick" of the lessons, and the thought that there was still 11 years' hard labor. " By the 4-5-th class for most children develop persistent hatred of the study, even if they are registered in the standouts.
"Toxicosis" at school and unrealistic job and pursue parents who at night instead of the children carved applique works for lessons, drawings and crafts - for "Obrazotvorche mystetstva" sawing and acorns competitions.

Minus in a relationship

This is the most offensive... Parents and so spend at work all day, come home and, instead of a warm interaction with children, fighting every night on homework. Persuade, require, shouting and tired, irritated diverge at night on the bed to the morning with gloomy faces to meet in the morning for breakfast. Well, some who benefit?

There is one serious disadvantage in this situation. Performing with kids homework, we parents get used to the role "Patrolman" who always checks all. And that, except perpetual conflict, undermining one of the main objectives of domestic work - responsibility. In general, the question of "what to do?" remains open.
