Selected claim, supporting its parent
Students in the US spend
over 6 hours
a week doing homework.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1
The average school day in the US is about
6-7 hours long
. If students also have to do 6 hours of homework weekly (plus extracurricular activities), then they have less free time than an adult with a full-time job.
Con claim 1
6 hours a week is less than one hour a day. That leaves plenty of time for other activities.
