What this all tells me about G6 boys views on homework Most students ( there is no information about how many boys like and dislike doing homework) do not like doing homework and spent less than one hour a day doing H.W. They prefer taking H.W. of one subject per day. - Results also indicate that students need help in doing H.W. of some subject as Science. - Students prefer doing Mathematics H.W. than other subjects Students think 4 days per week are enough to get H.W. On the other hand, they think H.W. is useless and does not help them for better understanding.
