Why Homework Is Important : Both Sides of the Debate

The Educational Series provides an incisive look into homework. Once considered a main staple of the educational process and a process that teachers utilized to reinforce concepts and to determine individual progress and comprehension of subject matter, homework in many school districts is non-existent. Many educators hold to the belief that smaller classes and more in-class one on one with the teachers accomplishes more than any homework assignment. Many parents are ill at east trying to help their children at home because these parents lack the necessary skills to provide any help. Too many children are thought to become frustrated when they cannot master homework assignments and therefore, fail to do the assignments, miss school not to be embarrassed or copy a friend's homework and therefore, learn nothing. And to complicate the issue even further, many educators use homework as punishment when in fact homework should be used as remediation, comprehension and reinforcement of subject matter and/or skill development. This book will provide both sides of the issue and the reader can draw his or her own conclusions.Luongo, Gerald J. is the author of 'Why Homework Is Important : Both Sides of the Debate', published 2004 under ISBN 9780976341826 and ISBN 0976341824.
