News pass and homework remain. Spain is the fifth country in the OECD with more homework at age 15. It has generated some debate in
print and radio, and all so happy; inertia continues with our children enslaved by the homework; and teachers (in general), schools (mostly) and education authorities (without exception) deaf to social debate.
Most importantly, has not been made a reading on the statements of the report itself that reaches conclusions that their data does not substantiate. It is necessary to ask several questions that we will answer from PISA own data, both the
Pisa in Focus 46 and the "
ranking":
1. What happens in Spain with homework in elementary school?
2. Is it correct to conclude that up to four hours a week of homework is beneficial?
3. Should disadvantaged youth to do more homework to improve their results?
4. Can OECD to say that the time spent on homework is correlated with performance?
