““Young children in grades K-3 should study at least 30 to 45 minutes per school night (which should include 15 minutes of reading out loud to a parent and 15 minutes of practicing math skills). Students in grades 4-5 should study at least 1 hour per school night with occasional projects and essays on the weekend. Middle school students should study 2 or more hours per school night with extra hours on the weekend for projects and essays. Top high school students should expect to study 3 or more hours per night on weeknights and 4 or more hours per day on weekends.””
