I enjoyed your article on homework. It is a popular topic. Research does not support heavy homework. http://educationalissues.suite101.com/ar... .Homework is not as useful as once thought. Barb

Hi Barb,
You bring up an excellent point. This is exactly why I give homework sparingly. Kids just don't have the study skills and this need to be reintegrated back into curriculums. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I struggle with a word search going home or research projects when there is no internet access, books or newspapers in the home. Homework can be an unreasonable burden at times.
