The data from a survey of high school math and science teachers show that in the district of Sanlee many of these teachers reported assigning daily homework, whereas in the district of Marlee, most science and math teachers reported assigning homework no more than two or three days per week. Despite receiving less frequent homework assignments, Marlee students earn better grades overall and are less likely to be required to repeat a year of school than are students in Sanlee. These results call into question the usefulness of frequent homework assignments. Most likely the Marlee students have more time to concentrate on individual assignments than do the Sanlee students who have homework every day. Therefore teachers in our high schools should assign homework no more than twice a week.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

题目翻译

一份高校数理课老师的调查数据显示在S地区许多老师每天布置回家作业，而在M地区每周只有不超过2-3天布置回家作业。除了回家作业更少外，M地区的学生考试成绩更好重读率更低。这项结果令人质疑频繁布置回家作业的有效性。最有可能的是M地区学生有更多时间集中精力在个人功课上。因此我们的高校老师每周布置回家作业不宜超过两次。

题目分析

1. 首先，作业更少不一定能带来更好的成绩。可能有其他因素导致了M地区的学生成绩更好，比如M地区的老师水平高，或者是M地区的学生本身素质较高，或是M地区学生的学习条件更好。

2. 即使作业少是M地区孩子成绩好的原因，这一因果关系在S地区也未必能成立。因为两个地区有诸多的不同，可能会导致因果关系不再成立。比如S地的学习氛围差，如果不是那么多作业，孩子们就会学会赌博吸毒等，更加无心学业。

3. 即使这个建议能够提高孩子们的成绩，这个建议也可能有负面影响和必要性的问题。比如减少作业量可能会让学生轻视学习;或者是可能有其他更好的方案来达到相同的效果，如招募教学水平更高的教师等。
