          Homework Around the World

          Not all countries do school the same way: In some places, students spend more time in school buildings and less time on homework, while others do longer school years. (Can you imagine no summer vacation? In the UK, summer holidays last about 5 weeks, compared to about 10 in the United States.) Check out this infographic about education all over the world. We do a lot more homework than kids in other countries!

          Make a Landing Zone

          If you already have a learning space set up, work with a parent or family member to set up a landing zone near the door—a place where you can put your backpack, coat, and any other papers when you get home each day.
