"Teachers should be invited to reflect on whether any given example of homework will help students think deeply about questions that matter."
"How does homework affect their desire to learn? What are its other effects on their lives, and on their families?"
"There is no perfect assignment that will stimulate every student because one size simply doesn’t fit all. On those days when homework really seems necessary, teachers should create several assignments fitted to different interests and capabilities."
"The best teachers know that children learn how to make good decisions by making decisions, not by following directions."
