Common homework assignments may include required <a href="/facts/Reading/HUEBU26z">reading</a>, a <a href="/facts/Writing/ke1HYEU8">writing</a> or <a href="/facts/Typing/HyjnNen9">typing</a> project, <a href="/facts/Exercise_(mathematics)/s8tMVtyY">math problems</a> to be completed, information to be reviewed before a <a href="/facts/Test_(assessment)/CjK7g99B">test</a>, or other skills to be practiced.
</p><p>The effects of homework are debated. Generally speaking, homework does not improve <a href="/facts/Academic_performance/XbJXSv3u">academic performance</a> among young children. Homework may improve academic skills among older students, especially lower-achieving students. However, homework also creates stress for students and parents, and reduces the amount of time that students can spend in other activities.
