What's the ideal size for high school?

Poll results: Most students received holiday homework

hollidayhomework.JPGAlthough a majority of our poll participants said “no” to holiday homework, the results of our follow-up poll indicate that most teachers assigned work over the break.

Forty-one percent of you said, “yes, and quite a lot,” while 38 percent reported, “yes, but not too much.” Just 17 percent of kids received no homework at all, and a mere two percent received homework that was optional.

Homework continues to be a hot topic and we're wondering what you think about the quality of your child's homework in general. Does it inspire your child to learn? Is it simply busy work? Post a comment to let us know!
