Opinions about assigning homework and the benefits of it are rarely critically examined.These are the ideas that I have taken away from Kohn’s book, or at least his major arguments: While the tone of this book is very anti-homework (with often frustrating rhetoric), I began reading the book from a pro-homework stance.
Therefore, I read Alfie Kohn’s The Homework Myth. This coming year, I’d like to respect my students’ time outside of school and only make demands on it that are reasonable and educationally sound. At the end of the year, I was also realized just how little free time students have at home, given homework, sports, and arts activities. This past school year, I cut back on the amount of homework that I was assigning to accommodate some students who were taking more time to do the homework than I anticipated.
