- Students from low-income homes may not benefit as much from homework as
  those from higher-income homes.
- Asian American students may benefit more from homework than do students
  from other ethnic groups. A national study of the influence of homework
  on student grades across five ethnic groups found that homework had a stronger
  impact on Asian American students than on students of other ethnicities (Keith
  and Benson, 1992).

- - Homework may have nonacademic benefits. Certain nonacademic
    benefits of homework have been shown, especially for younger students. Indeed,
    some primary-level teachers may assign homework for such benefits, which include
    learning the importance of responsibility, managing time, developing study
    habits, and staying with a task until it is completed
  - The amount of homework completed by students seems to be more
    positively associated with student achievement than the amount of homework
    assigned by teachers
  - After-school programs that provide homework assistance may improve
    student behavior, motivation, and work habits but not necessarily academic
    achievement.
  - The effect of parent involvement in homework is unclear.
    Studies of parent involvement in homework have produced mixed results. Homework
    assignments that require interaction between students and parents result in
    higher levels of parent involvement and are more likely to be turned in than
    noninteractive assignments. Some studies have shown, however, that parent
    involvement in homework has no impact on student achievement. Other studies
    indicate that students whose parents are more involved in their homework have
    lower test scores and class grades—but this may be because the students were
    already lower performing and needed more help from their parents than did
    higher-performing students. (Balli, Wedman, and Demo 1997; Cooper, Lindsay, and
    Nye 2000; Epstein 1988; Van Voorhis 2003).
