| Highlights The "What if?" machine -- Know when and how to use a calculator How do Japanese and German teachers conduct their math classes? p. 245 and p. 343 Homework is Individual Practice (not performance) More homework than 2 hours per night results in no improvement in achievement. (total homework, covering all subjects) After School Job: Up to 10 hours per week has a positive impact on grades, but when work east up more tan 10 hours, grades tend to fall. (Perhaps students who work a frew hours a week learn to manage their time bettter...but students who work 20 hors or more simply can not find enoug time to give to homework.) |
