CASE AGAINST HOMEWORK, THE(ISBN=9780307340184) 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

　　Does assigning fifty math problems accomplish any more than

assigning five? Is memorizing word lists the best way to increase

vocabulary—especially when it takes away from reading time? And

what is the real purpose behind those devilish dioramas?

The time our children spend doing homework has skyrocketed in

recent years. Parents spend countless hours cajoling their kids to

complete such assignments—often without considering whether or not

they serve any worthwhile purpose. Even many teachers are in the

dark: Only one of the hundreds the authors interviewed and surveyed

had ever taken a course specifically on homework during

training.

The truth, according to Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish, is that

there is almost no evidence that homework helps elementary school

students achieve academic success and little evidence that it helps

older students. Yet the nightly burden is taking a serious toll on

America’s families. It robs children of the sleep, play, and

exercise time they need for proper physical, emotional, and

neurological development. And it is a hidden cause of the childhood

obesity epidemic, creating a nation of “homework potatoes.”

In The Case Against Homework, Bennett and Kalish draw on academic

research, interviews with educators, parents, and kids, and their

own experience as parents and successful homework reformers to

offer detailed advice to frustrated parents. You’ll find out which

assignments advance learning and which are time-wasters, how to set

priorities when your child comes home with an overstuffed backpack,

how to talk and write to teachers and school administrators in

persuasive, nonconfrontational ways, and how to rally other parents

to help restore balance in your children’s lives.

Empowering, practical, and rigorously researched, The Case

Against Homework shows how too much work is having a negative

effect on our children’s achievement and development and gives us

the tools and tactics we need to advocate for change.
