End Homework Now.
Kralovac, Etta; Buell, John
Educational Leadership, v58 n7 p39-42 Apr 2001
A Maine study found that homework often disrupts family life, interferes with parents' own teachings, and punishes children in poverty for lacking computer access and/or a supportive home environment. The standards movement requires teaching in a more tightly controlled system, leaving no room for homework, an unknown variable. (Contains 13 references.) (MLH)
