WILL BE COOL I U HELP^^ 11 Points!!

Each school day, students head home with a list of assignments. From reading chapters to writing reports to preparing projects, students often have hours of homework to complete each day. The National Education Association recommends about two hours of homework for high school students per day. However, many receive three hours or more.

Some in the educational community claim that this is too much and that students are overwhelmed. Research shows that high levels of homework can result in increased stress, weight loss, exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and other issues. In a study in the Journal of Experimental Education, 56 percent of the students cited homework as their main cause of stress.

However, others say that the amount of homework has not changed substantially. According to a 2014 Brookings Institute’s report on education in America, homework load has remained stable since 1984. Many educators explain that handling a homework load remains important because it helps students practice responsibility and time management.

Answer 2

B) for identifying facts to support their opinions

Step-by-step explanation:

For this all I did was use a process of elimination and simple logic from my classroom. I have done something like this but with different topics. An article is not going to help to create and agenda, because your not supposed to copy the writing style (if you have the same agenda its OK, but if you copy the agenda then it will influence words. It also doesn't help to clarify points of view because it's only one author. Obviously it wont remind students of discussion rules because the teacher didn't write this article so (b) is the only one left.
