Do you believe these homework stats?

Question

US students study a lot more than students in Japan and Germany? I doubt it.

Answer 1

I agree! I would think the U.S. would be at the bottom of that list unless you include studying laptops and Smartphones.

Answer 2

Tink Bloomberg seems to be one of the sites (sigh) now excluding old computers so I cannot open it.

However,  from past experience I am guessing that if YOU & ROOSTER don't believe the stats, I prolly don't neither!

@Virginia : Maybe this one will open for you. Quite the difference in stats!

Rooster, yes! I can often open blogs because they are typically simpler...and this article was amazing. Japan, only 3.8 hours of homework per week, and they are #2 in Best Education System, right after S. Korea...

Maybe you recall Rathkeale, she was on both Ask and Blurt!t? Anyway...she is a retired educator in Canada with STRONG DEFINITIVE good sense/advice, and on Qu0ra she told us that she NEVER gave homework. And I would bet my hat-and-all that she turned out excellent students...

@Virginia : Yes, I do remember her quite well. Very nice and intelligent lady. I bet she did turn out some of the best students that Canada has!
