Homework has been the bane of their existence for students everywhere. But is it necessary?

Here is School Library Journal talking with Alfie Kohn. "Why do schools keep giving more homework when research shows there's no correlation to academic achievement?..."

I found this statement by a commenter at For and Against, "...Homework is schoolwork to take home, because the school day isn't long enough for the teachers to make sure that the students are fully and correctly learned in the days lesson...".
Now if that indeed is the case, then change the teaching model, the lesson plan or the teacher.

More on the subject of homework at IS HOMEWORK NECESSARY?.

On the other hand, Is Homework Necessary and How do I Grade It?.

And on the other hand, Homework robs children of their childhood.

There is much more about this topic but this blog illustrates the issue.

So, last but not least, a story about "A call for the great Canadian homework ban" from Chris Corrigan.
