In the middle school years, students begin to experience the benefits of homework, though it is difficult to determine how much good it does, particularly at a given age. And there is some debate on how much homework students need to receive that benefit.

Duke University’s Harris Cooper, one of the leading researchers on homework, says students enjoy genuine academic benefits from homework, including better comprehension and retention of subject matter. However, while the benefit is clear for high school students and beyond, the degree to which homework helps middle school students is a matter of some contention.

• It’s difficult to tell if homework helps high achievers do well, or if they do their homework because they are high achievers.
• It’s challenging to determine how much homework students actually do. Most homework studies rely on self-reported data, which means students can easily misstate the quantity of time they spend on homework.
• Many studies use test scores to measure academic success, which, as many researchers point out, is an inherently problematic form of measurement.

Teachers should assign an appropriate amount of homework

While there is still much discussion on the effectiveness of homework, research asserts that the 10-minute rule per grade level holds true for middle school students. This means that students might receive anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes of homework each evening.

In middle school, students’ higher academic achievement starts to correlate with completing homework. However, this correlation fades if homework lasts longer than that.  Indeed, giving more than 90 minutes of homework has been shown to have detrimental effects on students.

Students need time away from their studies to relax and engage in social, extracurricular and family activities. When given too much homework, students lose this time and suffer the effects of stress and sleep deprivation, which has proved to reduce academic performance.

Purposeful assignments

Teachers who give homework must consider the purpose and value of the assignments. While elementary school homework can build confidence and engage students in the subject matter, middle school homework needs a more specific purpose.

Certain subjects require practice homework, such as vocabulary, which often requires drills. Other homework requires reading or more complicated skill work. Still, there is a growing belief among researchers that even when homework serves a clear and distinct purpose, less is more.

Homework should be clearly connected to learning outcomes and shouldn’t overwhelm students so much they are unable to actively participate in their lives beyond the walls of the classroom. Teachers should carefully consider how much practice students need and design homework to effectively meet those goals within the shortest duration possible.

Ultimately, even if the benefit margin is small for middle school students, there are other advantages of completing homework. Some researchers argue that at least anecdotally, students develop important study skills that will benefit them in high school and college, and they learn the value of time management and responsibility.

Homework Guide

Homework Policy

As stated in the Policy Handbook of the Swampscott School Committee: The term “homework” refers to an assignment to be prepared during a period of supervised study in class or outside of class.

The purposes of homework are to improve the learning processes, to aid in the mastery of skills, and to create and stimulate interest on the part of the student.

Homework is a learning activity which should increase in complexity with the maturity of the student. With increased maturity, learning should become an independent activity. This should be established through consistent assignments which encourage students to investigate for themselves and to work independently as well as with others.

Homework assignments should be consistent in terms of the amount given each day and the time required for each assignment so that a pattern of meaningful homework can be established by the teacher and/or the student.

The information for any homework assignment should be clear and specific so that the student can complete the assignment.

Homework assignments should take into consideration individual differences of students such as health, ability, conditions at home, and educational resources at home. Homework should not require the use of reference materials not readily available in most homes, school libraries, or the public library, and should require the use of those materials only when the student has had instruction in the use of them.

There are many other learning activities in the life of a student besides homework. Such things as participating in school activities, pursuing cultural interests, participating in family living, and exploring personal interests should be considered by teachers when planning consistent assignments. Homework is not to be used as a form of punishment under any circumstances.

The GUIDE FOR HOMEWORK IN THE SWAMPSCOTT PUBLIC SCHOOLS has been studied and approved by teachers, principals, and the Superintendent of Schools.

The following timetable and criteria can serve as a minimum guide:

Kindergarten: minimal, based on teacher and parent judgement of student’s needs.

Grades 1-3: 15 to 30 minutes per night, Monday through Thursday

Grade 4: 30 to 45 minutes per night, Monday through Thursday

Grade 5: 40 to 60 minutes per night, Monday through Thursday

Grade 6: 15 to 20 minutes per subject per night

Grade 7: 20 to 25 minutes per subject per night

Grade 8: 25 to 30 minutes per subject per night

Grades 9-12: two to three hours per night

Homework is an important extension of activities begun in school by students under the guidance of their teachers and continued at home.

Working together, home and school can guide students as they develop their learning capacities by making possible experiences which foster learning.

Homework provides for practice of skills and application of principles based upon work begun in the classroom. It may enrich school experiences and promote a permanent interest in learning. A secondary goal of homework is to stimulate individual initiative, personal responsibility and self-direction.

Listed below are the responsibilities of teachers, students and parents with regard to homework.

Teachers will:

• assign homework that is meaningful and useful to individuals
• give clear, concise directions; allow time for student questions; consider availability of materials;provide legible worksheets
• inform parents of their role in supervising homework
• ensure that students who are absent know how they may make up homework
• monitor the effectiveness of homework as reflected in student performance
• provide appropriate and timely response to all homework assignments
• provide a balance between long-range and short-term assignments
• monitor long-term assignments in order to avoid last minute student efforts

Students will:

• record the directions of homework
• ask questions when necessary to clarify the assignment
• follow a schedule and keep materials in order
• hand in, on time, neat, accurate, and meaningful products
• plan time for completion of long-term assignments
• determine and complete homework assigned during absence

Parents will:

• provide a suitable place for study
• help students develop routine home study habits
• ensure that work is made up after an absence
• assist and correct, but not do, the actual work and notify the teacher if student experienced extreme difficulty
• be aware of long-term assignments and assist students in learning to budget their time accordingly
• contact the teacher if they observe an absence of homework or an abundance of time spent on individual homework assignments

Welcome to WMS

The Waldwick Middle School believes that all children should receive an education that goes beyond the academics and addresses the needs of the whole child. Their needs should be met in a safe and supportive environment that is conducive to the educational process. All students should be nurtured to develop a sense of responsibility and feelings of self-worth. Children should be guided to become more creative and develop problem-solving skills. The learning process should provide children with experiences that promote good citizenship and community pride.  

It is the responsibility of the administration and faculty to work together to create this type of environment. Teachers should be given the freedom and support to investigate and test new ideas. The element of trust between administration, faculty, and parents should encourage participatory decision-making, planning, and evaluating for the enrichment of the students' educational experiences. This sense of collegiality is fundamental to the success of the school community.  

In summation, the educational process should provide children not only with the building blocks of academics, but with the necessary skills to put them on the path to becoming positive, successful members of society.

Lincoln Middle School Homework Policies

Homework is important to student learning at Lincoln Middle School. The purpose of this homework plan is to guide teachers, parents and students in ensuring that homework is meaningful and supports the learning experience for all students. Definition Homework is any activity or assignment directed by the teacher to be performed outside the classroom that may include practicing skills learned in class, reading, studying, projects, or completion of assignments. Rules for Homework

• Activities or assignments that students can complete independently. Carefully constructed as to be completed within a reasonable time allotment, with minimal adult help.
• Connected to grade level or subject matter curriculum.
• Connected to class instruction.
• Engaging, purposeful and relevant.

Teacher Guidelines

• Review, discuss and return, if collected, homework in a timely manner.
• Whenever possible, communicate and coordinate assignments so that students do not receive an overload of homework.
• Explain homework assignments to the students prior to the assignment. Teachers shall communicate homework assignments in at least one of the following ways: send a packet home, write assignment on the board, require students to record it, and/or make available through emails, websites or hotlines. The use of a variety of strategies is encouraged.
• The teacher will (also) consider a student’s Individualized Education Plan or 504 Plan in regards to homework.
• Teach techniques that can help students allocate their time wisely, meet their deadlines, and develop good personal study habits.
• Identify the access that students will have to materials for projects and other homework assignments – taking into account affordability, resource materials from the library media center, assistance and tutoring opportunities, and technology resources.
• Communicate with parents to inform them about homework expectations, policies, and procedures.
• Communicate the extent to which homework influences the student’s overall grades.
• Communicate ways in which parents can best assist their children in doing homework independently.
• Communicate with parents at the earliest possible opportunity once the student has demonstrated consistent inability to complete homework.

Parent Guidelines

• Provide a quiet space and basic materials for homework completion.
• Teach techniques that can help children allocate their time wisely, meet their deadlines, and develop good personal study habits.
• Monitor time management and productivity.
• Review school provided materials (for example Binder Reminder, class handouts, and/or online resources).
• Communicate with teachers at the earliest possible opportunity once the child has demonstrated consistent inability to complete homework. If necessary, parents shall attempt to reach accommodation with their child’s teachers regarding homework.
• Contact the grade level counselor, assistant principal and then the principal if a solution cannot be reached with a teacher regarding homework.

Student Guidelines

• Complete homework as assigned.
• Record homework when assigned in class by the teacher.
• Seek clarification from teachers when unclear about homework.
• Use class time provided for completing classwork and/or starting homework.
• Seek assistance from teachers when demonstrating an inability to complete homework.

Scheduling Time and Parameters Middle School Middle school homework may be given Monday through Thursday. Weekends and holidays are primarily reserved for family time. Students may elect to use the weekends to review materials, make up work, complete projects, and enjoy recreational reading. Assignments shall be designed so that the typical student can complete all homework, including time for studying and preparing for exams, in the average minutes shown.

Students taking an extra class should expect to exceed the daily minutes in a proportional manner. For an accelerated course designed to be equivalent to a course at a more advanced grade level, students should expect homework for that class to be consistent with a time expectation for the higher grade level. In addition, students shall be encouraged to allot time to read for pleasure. Reading for pleasure and music practice times are not included in the time parameters shown.
