[quote=Anonymous]This thread has gone off the rails a bit, but all parents may be well served to check out this book (I am mid-way and have taken a full step back from homework, and the guilt of not forcing homework in our house): The Homework Myth: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing by Alfie Kohn http://www.amazon.com/Homework-Myth-Kids-Much-Thing/dp/0738211117/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452274393&sr=8-1&keywords=the+homework+myth Summary from Amazon: Kohn’s incisive analysis reveals how a set of misconceptions about learning and a misguided focus on competitiveness has left our kids with less free time, and our families with more conflict. Pointing to stories of parents who have fought back-and schools that have proved educational excellence is possible without homework-Kohn demonstrates how we can rethink what happens during and after school in order to rescue our families and our children’s love of learning.[/quote]
