When a group of incoming first, second, and third graders were asked what they felt most anxious about starting a new school year this Fall, the top response was the pressure of completing their homework. The number was 53% to be exact. Homework assignments and work overload seemed to be heaviest on their mind causing stress.
Students are not the only ones who feel this pressure. In a survey given by CNN reporters just before the 2015-2016 school year began, over 400 parents agreed that their children’s homework responsibilities throughout the week create a stressful and chaotic feeling within their household. It is also true that teachers are doing their part in the classroom to help students comprehend the material so when they take it home they can complete it independently. However, teachers have to keep track of multiple students and may not always be able to work on a one-on-one level with their students. More than ever teachers are also pressured to meet state guidelines to prep their students for standardized testing. They are expected to produce sound results when student’s scores come back.
