[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework is widely accepted as an inequitable practice today.  First of all, there is the digital divide. Many assignments require a computer and internet access, which are not equally available to all students. This is known as the "homework gap," and it forces some students to use libraries or find public Wi-Fi, which is not always feasible.

Second, there’s the gap in parental and guardian support: Students from families with more flexible work schedules or higher education levels may receive more help from parents with homework, while students with working parents, one or more parents involved with correctional institutions, or single parents,  may have less support or more pressure to handle domestic duties.

Furthermore, there’s the  stable environment gap.  Some students may not have a quiet or stable home environment conducive to focusing on homework, whereas others (particularly those benefiting from unearned privilege) may have dedicated spaces for study.
