Typo

edit

change "15-, 16-, and 17-year-olds Americans," to "15-, 16-, and 17-year-old Americans," I think its just annoying to read it. NotHybridd (talk) 20:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done Thanks for the catch, NotHybridd. — PrinceTortoise (he/himpoke) 18:41, 21 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Update+rewrite required? Some studies are from 30 years ago

edit

I feel this article should rely on more up to date studies. Done at least after 2010. After 2022 would be best due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I will admit I am having difficulties finding sources that are newer while also having higher reliability. Ned Retherbrick (talk) 03:42, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I completely agree, @Ned Retherbrick. A few years back, I was waiting for a book to be published, but now I can't find my notes on which book it was. We need some excellent sources, and then we need to do a top-to-bottom re-write. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have figured out the name of the book:
  • Hallam, Susan; Rogers, Lynne (2018). Homework: The Evidence (2nd ed.). London: UCL Institute of Education Press. ISBN 978-1-78277-247-7. OCLC 1079344976.
Unfortunately, my library doesn't have it. (If you go looking, keep in mind that it's important to get the 2018 major update, not the original 2004 edition.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't have much interesting going on tommorow. I could check my local public library for it. Ned Retherbrick (talk) 06:16, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Aha! Useful tool. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Homework/k5GQtgEACAAJ?hl=en This will hopefully show any copies near you. Ned Retherbrick (talk) 06:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm hoping you're right, @Ned Retherbrick. 2603:6000:D3F0:4D90:3D6E:D503:C7F0:3CD6 (talk) 22:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
I truly agree, @WhatamIdoing. 2603:6000:D3F0:4D90:3D6E:D503:C7F0:3CD6 (talk) 22:06, 21 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
