The idea
Research on homework is contested: every study has design flaws, yet the evidence points consistently to a positive effect on achievement, stronger in grades seven to twelve.
In practice
The ten-minutes-per-grade guideline gives a fourth grader forty minutes.
Where people slip
Some critics claim no consistent benefit; the fuller evidence is more positive, though weaker for young children.
