I think the Professor from Duke University is right about teachers and what they are doing about the homework, because if they give the students the homework, then its only upgrading some practice skills on the work and reading skills. The teachers should work on more classwork then homework so students can get the hang of the work that is being done in the class that they are in. I think its the right thing that the parents of the children should get in the conversation about what is going on because maybe they have some great ideas about what can change so students can have a better education and succeed.
I find it crazy that elementary kids get no educational benefit from homework. We didn't get a lot of homework but still the teachers would always say "do you homework it will help you for middle school and to help you understand the topic." when really if they knew it or not the only thing that really helped me was the reading thats crazy. even if high school students get too much homework it doesn't help up after a certain amount of time. So some kids stay up all night doing homework. When hours before they lost all benefit from doing homework accept because the teacher said so. Also most teachers were never even taught how to create homework assignments. So they went to all this schooling and never even were told how to do everything to help the students succeed. Homework needs to have a point and not just be there because the teacher said so. i think it is completely asinine that most people on school boards don't even have educational degree's. Then how did they get their job on a school board. I thought that this article was very informational and that teachers and board members need to read and discuss this article and also act on this article.
