Education: How to avoid doing homework
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Everybody has their own way of putting off unpleasant tasks, but new research shows that students are past masters when it comes to avoiding exam revision.
The survey, carried out by the publishers Hodder & Stoughton and WH Smith found that although television is still the biggest distraction, some 12 per cent of children in the south will offer to clean the house rather than sit down behind a desk. Once the housework is done they are twice as likely to spend time on the phone to their friends.
