## Resource

New research from Ireland is rewriting the homework playbook: less is more. Students in math and science thrive when given short, frequent assignments—just 3 to 5 times a week, each under 30 minutes—outperforming those burdened with endless work. Analyzing data from nearly 100,000 teens across 23 countries, experts found that consistency beats volume, especially when guided by skilled teachers. But here’s the twist: it doesn’t help the weakest students as much. The findings echo cognitive science—spaced repetition wins over cramming—and raise urgent questions for an AI-driven world where homework’s value could vanish if students just copy answers.
