You see, students who haven't developed
effective homework habits tend to lack the motivation to study, misunderstand how to study, and fail to see the long - term benefits of putting forth an effort at home and at school.
Further, to the extent that
homework helps young students develop
effective study
habits, our results suggest that
homework in early grades can have a long - term developmental effect that reveals itself as an even stronger relationship between completion rates and grades when the student moves into secondary school.
