There is no such thing as a European school. Each country is different. And if the country is a federation, each state might be different. And we have homework in most European countries I’m aware of.
replyWhat are you basing that claim on?
Seems this did effectively abolish homework if AI is now doing it all for them. The result seems to be that fewer students pass the exams, not more.
replyAs with any skill, practice is necessary to achieve competence. If homework is no longer a viable way to force students to practice, you'll need to find some replacement, you can't just abolish it and expect there to be no negative consequences.
The replacement is students maturing into functional adults who learn they must study to pass exams, not to treat them like babies.
reply> The replacement is students maturing into functional adults
replyBy what means? Have you got a magic wand that will turn 3rd graders into mature functional adults who will study on their own without homework?
I’m talking about university students. I don’t think I third graders are turning into functional adults any time soon.
replyOkay, but this article isn't about that:
reply> The study followed 27,000 pupils aged 12 to 18
The same applies to high school students. Just make it exam based and give suggested reasons.
reply(Third grade is 9-10 years old I believe.)
Too many of them don't really care. Otherwise they'd be doing the homework for real before they cheat it.
replyI don't think this is true, and frankly, I don't care what they do in Europe.
replyIt is what all my European peers reported to me during grad school, and you should care because it is an example of a system which solves this problem successfully (at the university level).
replyThe article is about 12-18yo. American grad school already doesn't have graded homework.
