School Homework Offers Little Benefit, Australian Study Finds: "Research reveals elementary school homework offers no real benefit -- and only limited results in junior high school.
Only senior students in grades 11 and 12 benefit from after-school work, said associate professor Richard Walker, from Sydney University's Education Faculty.
"What the research shows is that, in countries where they spend more time on homework, the achievement results are lower," Walker said.
"The amount of homework is a really critical issue for kids. If they are overloaded they are not going to be happy and not going to enjoy it."
