Students everywhere hate it, but is it rightfully so? "Rethinking Homework: Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs" is an educational discussion of homework and its role in the modern educational processes. Presenting both sides of the homework debate, Cathy Vatterott chooses instead to focus on a different approach that supports quality over quantity of work, and encouraging children to get it done while not punishing them too harshly if they cannot. "Rethinking Homework" is an excellent pick and highly recommended reading for those planning today's curriculums.
