Homework, Sleep, and the Student Brain

by Glenn Whitman, Edutopia


At some point, every parent wishes their high school aged student would go to bed earlier as well as find time to pursue their own passions — or maybe even choose to relax. This thought reemerged as I reread Anna Quindlen’s commencement speech, A Short Guide to a Happy Life. The central message of this address, never actually stated, was: “Get a life.” But what prevents students from “getting a life,” especially between September and June? One answer is homework.
