Begley, Sharon
Newsweek, v131 n13 p50-51 Mar 30 1998
Examines research indicating that while homework assigned at the middle school level does improve achievement, homework in the lower grades appears to undermine children's school attitudes and to have little effect on their school performance. Suggests goals and characteristics of useful homework assignments. (HTH)
