Is it possible that homework isn’t good for kids? Dare we even consider such a shocking idea? . . . Does it make children, teachers, and parents angry at each other rather than allied with each other? –Deborah Meier, author of The Power of Their Ideas and Will Standards Save Public Education?, in her Mission Hill School News
“The increasing amount of homework may not be helping students to learn more; indeed, it often undermines the students’ health, the development of personal interests, and the quality of family life.” –Ted Sizer and Nancy Faust Sizer, authors of The Students Are Watching
