However, to say that giving homework is not backed by any actual data is
wrong.

This site has many references: http://www.netc.org/focus/strategies/home.php


Did you read this from that page?

Grade level is important when teachers assign homework. Impact of homework on
achievement increases as students move through the grades (Cooper, 1989, a, b).
At the high school level, for every 30 additional minutes of homework completed
daily, a student's GPA can increase up to half a point (Keith, 1992). Elementary
students should be assigned homework to establish good learning and study habits
(Cooper, 1989; Cooper, Lindsay, Nye, & Greathouse, 1998; Gorges & Elliot, 1999).

I couldn't even find any of these references on their reference page.
Am I missing something?


All the best,

Sarah
