The truth about homework in schools
- More times than not homework adds little value when it comes to student learning...
- There is pressure from society to continue giving homework because that is the way it has always been done...
- Assigned homework rarely has any true relevancy or purpose for students, thus completion rates are negatively affected...

- When a student receives a zero for not completing homework, he/she is NOT learning about responsibility and "the real world."
- Grading homework on completion typically inflates grades and ultimately distorts overall content mastery...
- Homework should be an extension of the learning environment that provides students the opportunity to explore and discover...
- Homework can be a valuable tool in schools, but I believe too often homework is misused and ultimately detracts from the learning environment.
- More homework does NOT equal more learning...
- Students should not spend all night every night doing homework... I don't know many Educators who work 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.... why should students be subjected to that...?
- The natural love and curiosity of learning are destroyed by too much irrelevant and unproductive homework...
- Homework also naturally reinforces the gap between the kids who have parents/guardians available to help and those who don't...
- A school without homework and grades would be a school where student learning and success increased...
- Not enough Educators are having this difficult conversation about the role of homework in schools...
