OECD data show 15-year-olds are assigned 6.1 hours of homework per week. For high school students, they should aim for 90 minutes to two and a half hours per day. Proposed by Harris Cooper of Duke University, the leading researcher on homework, middle-school students are recommended to do take on 90 minutes per day of homework – this is the optimal figure to enhance their academic achievement. When they reach high school, this goes up to about two hours each night. This mean that a third-grader, for example, should do 30 minutes of homework each night. This rule recommends that students are assigned a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level. On the other extreme end of the spectrum, high school students in Finland get less than three hours of homework per week.īut in the US, the standard for decades has been the “10-minute rule,” a guideline supported by both the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and the National Education Association. Teens in Shanghai spend the most hours per week on homework (14 hours) globally. In countries like Singapore where the pursuit of top grades is intense, 15-year-old students are assigned 9.4 hours of homework weekly, according to data from the OECD. It can seem unthinkable to ascribe just 10 minutes of homework per day to students.
