Homework Without the Headache: Why Less is More

ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice explores groundbreaking research on homework and its impact on student achievement, particularly in mathematics and science. The study reveals that frequent, short homework assignments are just as effective as longer ones, challenging the notion that more is always better. We also discuss how socioeconomic background surprisingly doesn't play a major role in homework's effectiveness, offering hope that well-structured homework policies can benefit all students. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just curious about the homework debate, this episode uncovers new insights into how we can better support student success.
