About this listen
Homework.
Did you shudder when you read that? If so, you’re probably a parent of a child who hates it, a teacher who hates assigning it, or remember being a student who hated doing it. It’s one of those topics that really divides people: you tend to be for homework or against it but what does the research tell us about homework? Is it a worthwhile way for teachers, students, and children to spend their time? Why, or why not? How much is too much? And how can we design more effective homework?
