Closing the Book on Homework: Enhancing Public Education and Freeing Family Time

Více o knize

The book presents a compelling argument that homework detracts from valuable unstructured time essential for children's play and emotional growth. It explores how the emphasis on homework reflects deeper cultural anxieties surrounding the value of work, suggesting that the current educational practices may hinder rather than help children's overall development. Through this lens, it advocates for a reevaluation of homework's role in fostering a healthy balance between academic responsibilities and personal growth.
