Description
The Homework Myth: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing Alfie Kohn's insightful analysis reveals how misconceptions about learning and a focus on competitiveness have led to a situation where our kids have less free time and our families experience more conflict. Kohn shares stories of parents who have fought back and schools that have achieved educational excellence without homework, highlighting the need to rethink what happens during and after school. By examining the impact of homework on families and children, Kohn argues that a different approach is possible. He demonstrates how this change can rescue our families and our children's love of learning. This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on the role of homework in education. With 256 pages, this paperback edition is a concise and accessible exploration of the issue.
