School inspectors have found that, contrary to all expectations, children don´t dislike homework at all. In fact, many do more than their teachers suggest, either because of anxiety about their grades or simple for enjoyment.
Therefore, the inspectors recommend the introduction of “homework charters”. These tell parents and children how much additional work is expected and provide encouragement to schools to form links with parents who can check that these tasks are properly completed.
International comparisons suggest that a typical fourteen-year-old does 6 hours homework in Britain, 8 hours in Italy, and almost 9 hours in Hungary, Poland and Japan.
