Michael comes home from school with an hour worth of practice problems to complete. He completes the practice problems for he knows that it will help him to comprehend the material. Olivia notices that completing her assignments has been helping her to improve in class.

In the public school system, students are enrolled in more than one course. Since these students are involved in more than one course the assignments pile up and take much time to accomplish, more than some say is needed (Lohmann, par. 10). Research has come to find that students are receiving an excess amount of homework than what is recommended, this excess has caused many students to experience stress (Levy, par. 19). Though this is true, stress can be avoided if students manage and prioritize their assignments, and if they do these statistics will
