A. Homework
School inspectors have found that, contrary to all (0) expectations children don't (1) DISLIKE homework at all. In fact, many do more than their teachers suggest, either because of (2) ANXIETY about their marks or simply for (3) ENJOYMENT. The inspectors' findings add to the evidence of the (4) POWERFUL beneficial effects of homework on pupils' (5) ACHIEVEMENTS.
The inspectors also recommend the (6) INTRODUCTION of "homework charters". These tell parents and children how much (7) ADDITIONAL work is expected and provide (8) ENCOURAGEMENT to schools to form links with parents who can check that tasks are (9) PROPERLY completed. International (10) COMPARISONS suggest that a typical 14-year-old does 6 hours homework in Britain, 8 hours in Italy, and almost 9 hours in Hungary, Japan and Poland.
