A young girl sits at her desk, reviewing her homework for the evening. English: Read three chapters (文章) and write a report. Math: Complete 30 problems. Science: Do a worksheet (学习计划), front and back. French: (A) Study new words for tomorrow’s test. It’s going to be a long night.

This means that a student in my grade-seventh-should have no more than 70 minutes of work (C) each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse!

But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity(削弱学生的个性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want?
