[quote=Anonymous]The one education course I took (before realizing that I would never in any way be qualified to become a teacher) emphasized that the purpose of homework in elementary grades was to provide practice for skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom. Into middle school and certainly in high school, homework begins to serve another purpose: Providing students with "opportunities" for self-directed learning, to equip them for more of the same for the rest of their lives. Never did the course address the issue of how much homework is the right amount. Also, the prof was a lousy teacher.[/quote]
