The author says it's not enough just to have less homework or even better homework. We should change the fundamental expectation in our schools so that students are asked to take schoolwork home only when there's a reasonable likelihood that a particular assignment will be beneficial to most of them. The bottom line: No homework except for those occasions when it's truly necessary. If the research has consistently failed to link homework with achievement, as narrowly defined by school culture, what might the future hold if children were allowed to move freely after school as they discovered tomorrow's world.
