Homework is the cause of more friction between schools and home than any
other aspect of education and becomes the prime battlefield when
schools, families, and communities view one another as adversaries. This
comprehensive fourth edition tackles all the tough questions: What's the
right amount of homework? What role should parents play in the homework
process? What is the connection between homework and achievement?
This essential reference offers all stakeholders--administrators,
teachers, and parents--the opportunity to end the battle and turn
homework into a cooperative endeavor to promote student learning.
