Minnesota Students Shouldn’t Do More Than One Hour Of Homework A Day

Yesterday I told you about a recent study that says you should leave work on time everyday. Now, there's a study that says your kids shouldn't do more than one hour of homework each day.

I'm starting to feel like researchers just want us to be lazy--that, or this study was done by kids. Here's their reasoning why:

Researchers at the University of Oviedo in Spain wanted to know if doing more homework each night produced smarter kids.

They found kids were most focus and productive after doing an hour of homework each night. Productivity and focus showed a dramatic drop after about 70 minutes of studying.

Teens who did 90-100 minutes of homework each night, surprisingly enough, had worse test results than students who studied for 60 minutes.

Researchers concluded that kids experienced an information overload after 60 minutes--causing them to forget information they learned.

Maybe this is why I can barely remember anything I learned from my AP psychology class in high school.
