现在的学生对比起以前的学生,学业负担变得越来越重,有更多的科目要学,也就有了更多的作业。每每提到作业,学生们也是叫苦不迭。在为孩子减轻压力的同时,也会有担心成绩会不会受影响,究竟多少作业才是最合适的呢?让杜克大学哈里斯·库珀教授来告诉你作业和成绩之间的关系,教你科学的计算方式。

Surveys using national samples show that one in five parents think that their child is getting too much homework.

One in five parents also think their child doesn't get enough homework.

So a second grader would get twenty minutes of homework.

A fourth grader would get 40 minutes of homework.

If a second grader is bringing home two hours of homework a night that's too much.
