It's summertime and the kids in school are excited that they have a few months of freedom from homework.My kids don't know what homework, in the traditional sense of the word, is.
What do the kids in school do for seven hours a day, that prevents them from getting all their work done?
Just as I don't think consistently bringing work home from the office is healthy for an individual, nor a family; I don't think bringing work home from school is healthy for an individual, nor a family.
Why is homework an acceptable practice? And what kind of pattern, habits, attitudes, is it teaching our future adults?
