BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - A new report by Indiana University researchers found that most high school students expect to go to college, but the work students do in high school doesn't always match up to their perceptions or goals.

The report on the High School Survey of Student Engagement found that more than 70 percent of students thought doing homework and studying for class was important. But more than 80 percent of those surveyed said they spent less than an hour a day on those tasks.

Project Director Ethan Yazzie-Mintz says researchers must examine the gap between the priorities students feel and the time they actually spend working on them.

IU's Center for Evaluation and Education Policy surveyed more than 100,000 students nationwide in 2007 and 2008.
