Is it true that homework improves students' academic achievement at the primary and secondary school levels?
Partly. Several studies report that homework is associated with modest achievement gains, but the evidence is limited to particular levels (elementary, middle, high school) or particular forms (E-homework, parent-involved homework), and some studies find no significant relationship between homework-related variables and achievement. No retrieved item settles the general claim across both primary and secondary schooling.
