Oregon Students Rank #1 in U.S. for Homework Over Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and American students are enjoying the lovely few days off they've been granted from school. However, being away from class doesn't mean they're stepping away from their studies.

The brainiacs at Brainly, the world’s largest online learning platform, surveyed 1,000 American students to find out what they’re most grateful for ahead of Thanksgiving and what their schoolwork plans (if any) were during the fall break.

While 51% of Americans say they have homework assigned, 55% say they don't study over the break. Though some students get to have a mental rest, others are continuing their studies and keeping their minds active.

The top 10 states that have homework over Thanksgiving break:

1. Oregon — 71%
2. New York — 64%
3. New Jersey — 62%
4. Colorado — 60%
5. Arizona — 59%
6. Massachusetts — 58%
7. Tennessee — 58%
8. California — 57%
9. Illinois — 55%
10. Georgia — 54%

Many students are engaging their brains (and their tummies) this Thanksgiving break, but they've taken the time to share exactly what they're thankful for this school year.

Consider this:

• 55% think American K-12 students are grateful for their opportunity to receive a free public education and be able to go to school every day.
• 84% believe students in other countries around the world are generally more grateful for their educational opportunities than U.S. students.
• Aside from teachers, 33% of Americans are most thankful for guidance counselors. 17% are most thankful for custodians, and 14% are thankful for cafeteria workers.
• When it comes to small wins throughout the school day, 35% are thankful for acing a test. 28% are most thankful when Friday arrives and 23% for the nights they don’t have homework!
• 56% of Americans are most grateful for teachers that try to make learning fun. 34% are most grateful for teachers who provide additional support outside of the classroom when needed.

American students are undoubtedly thankful for all of the resources available to them, even if it means having to do a bit of extra studying on their days off.
