Few students like it，but homework is an important part of secondary school life in the UK.
   The UK has these government guidelines（指導(dǎo)方針） for homework：Years 7 and 8 （ages 11 to 13）：45 to 90 minutes per day；Year 9（ages 14 to 15）：1 to 2 hours a day.
   Today，many homework tasks are done on a computer—for example，preparing presentations（報告），searching for information or doing online tasks.So schools are usually open before and after regular classes.This way，students without computers or internet at home can use the schools' facilities（設(shè)施）.
   Sometimes students are given' extended learning tasks'.This means they need to do more research and analysis（分析），such as when working on a history or art project.But no matter how big the task is，teachers will always give feedback（反饋）.They help students find areas where they can improve.
   Most schools send students home with a homework diary.They encourage parents to check on their children's progress.Other schools have e-portal（門戶網(wǎng)站） that parents can use to track（追蹤） their children's performance every day.
   Sadly，not every parent takes that much jye.aiterest.In a 2011 survey of 1，000 students aged 11 to 18，over one in 10 said that they did not have space at home to do homework.Almost 15 percent said that their family did not support them enough.
