CED partnered with MetLife to focus attention on the value of homework for American students. The value of homework has long been a topic of debate among educators and families, particularly in recent years, when critics have raised pointed questions regarding whether homework delivers a benefit, or is simply busywork. Surprisingly, the MetLife Survey of the American Teacher: The Homework Experience, released at the National Press Club, reveals that a substantial majority of teachers, parents, and even students feel strongly that homework is important, helping students learn more in school and paving the way for future success. More students value homework now than in the past, with 30 percent of secondary school students describing homework as busywork, compared with 74 percent in 2002 (19 percent of today’s elementary school students in grades 3 through 6 considered homework busywork).
