Hours students spend on homework in a week in Europe

  1. My anecdotal evidence would like to disagree.
    Most of the people around me spend like 2 h/week on homework

  2. Is that would students should spend on homework? I am from Germany and I didn’t spend even close to that amount of time

  3. Isn’t Finland’s education system considered one of the best in the world? Meanwhile our shitty education system focuses only on memorizing information just for the sake of good grades and doing almost nothing practical. And with online school now, the budget for education being small… The future looks good for Romania.

  4. about 40% of my classmates spent around 30 minutes on homework per week. Copying from better students right before class.

  5. In Greece students spend a lot of time stusying for school, and then they go to tutors for a better “experience”. However most of the teachers are using teaching methodologies from 1950s, they don’t learn to students ” to learn to learn” and do teamwork projects or researching on some projects. They just force them to learn without even understanding, a ton of useless information in extremely bad books.
    They don’t exercise critical thinking, they don’t exercise their ability to search in search engines for some information, to fast check if an article is valid etc..
    It’s almost impossible to go to University without having tutors to help you in our exams in order to join University, called “Panellinies”.
    As a result, students lose their teen ages for studying but they learn alkostt nothing…

  6. I think homework is a farce… If you plant kids already 6-8 hours into a school they definitely don’t need more homework

  7. If somebody would really go for all homeworks in Poland its more then that, other thing is that only few bothers to do so.

    I managed to go trough the school system doing like 4 homeworks in total and usually I was even to lazy to copy someone else homework xD

    I wonder how those hours were estimated.

  8. This comparison makes no sense at all, as different countries have different school forms/systems.
    Some kids are free after 4-6 school hours a day of pure frontal lecturing, burden with homework.
    Some other have classes, and study courses, including self-exercises aka homework, in school and leave early evening earliest.
