The biggest game of the year is February 13, and families across the country will gather in their living rooms to watch the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams go head to head on the football field for the title of 2022 NFL champs on Sunday. Brainly, the world’s largest homework help and online learning community surveyed 1,000 US parents with kids enrolled in K-12 public school to find out how the Big Game would impact their child’s studies, homework habits, and school routine. Now, ahead of the game, Brainly has surveyed another 1,000 US parents to find out how their thoughts and attitudes have changed this year compared to last. The survey revealed dramatic changes in parents’ willingness to let their kids stay up late or skip homework to watch the event, among other things. Some of the insights include: HOME TEAM ADVANTAGE. The five states where most parents said their kids can skip homework to watch the Super Bowl: 1. Missouri (65%) 2. Florida (64%) 3. Kansas (62%) 4. Texas (56%) 5. Alabama (55%) Previously, the top five states where parents said their kids could skip homework to watch the Super Bowl were: Missouri (60%), Kansas (58%), Texas (57%), California (52%), and Colorado (51%). OVERTIME > BEDTIME. Approximately 75% of US parents say they will let their children stay up later than normal in order to watch the Big Game, which is a 10% increase over the previous year.INCOMPLETE HOMEWORK = PENALTY. Roughly 80% of parents say their child must complete all of their homework before they can watch the game.MORE PLAY, LESS WORRY. Nationwide, only about 35% of parents think the Super Bowl might negatively impact their child’s sleep or leave them feeling ill-prepared for school the following morning. “Perhaps parents are less worried this year because they know there are countless online resources like Brainly to get their kids back up to speed and teachers have been more lenient with online coursework,” says Quinn. “This game is such a big American event, that it’s almost considered an official holiday…. almost. Though America sees Big Game Sunday as a day where work stands still, students have to return to school the following Monday, and assignments are still due. It’s good for students to prioritize homework this weekend so they can enjoy the game on Sunday,” says Patrick Quinn, Parenting Expert at Brainly.
