6.A.Choose the best answer:选出正确的答案According to a recent report,kids in primary school spend about six hours every week doing their homework.So kids hate homework.However,their parents hate homework,too.
Is it good for kids to do homework?Of course,a great number of studies do show that kids can remember what they have learnt in class better by finishing their homework on time and homework itself plays an important role in developing their learning skills,such as independent (独立的) thinking and creativity.
But for parents,the result is not the same.After a day of hard work,most of them feel like they're going through school a second time when they sit down with their children each night to help with their homework.And a recent survey found that 46percent of parents feel like they don't spend enough quality time (黄金时光) with their children,because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework.And another 29percent of parents have arguments with their kids often when they have different answers to the same questions.
Now several education(教育) scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping.They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time.At the same time,the number of homework-connected arguments will be smaller at home.Kate Smith,an education scientist,says,"You don't have to know everything.Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents.Use your resource (资源)-online teachers,or even your neighbourhood-just ask."
