Some educators argue that Australian students in Years 3 to 6 should be assigned 1.5 hours of homework each school night. They claim that homework helps consolidate classroom learning and builds important life skills. Critics say that 1.5 hours is excessive for primary school students. However, proponents point to research showing that primary students in countries like Finland and Korea complete around 2 hours of homework daily. They argue this still allows students enough time for recreation.
