The Negative Impact of Complex Homework on Children

Too difficult homework is harmful for kids. Researchers conducted a survey among eight Canadian families with children in the 3rd grade. It turned out that in all families, children and their parents were struggling with difficulties in solving certain assignments, which ultimately led to sleep problems, arguments, and a sense of disappointment in students. At the same time, adults often cannot cope with mathematics tasks for third-graders not because of low intelligence, but due to changes in teaching methods.
