The issue has been debated for decades. A TIME cover in 1999 read: “Too much homework! Yet, you can also go back to the 1970s, when we were concerned about our global competitiveness, and find there were concerns that there was too little homework. How much homework is too much? Not enough? Who should get it? What value does homework add? These are just a few of the questions that have been debated over the years. The topic is controversial and complex because seemingly everyone has an opinion about the benefits of giving homework. In this episode, SST8's Denise Ward takes listeners through eight perspectives from leading educational researchers - and then asks the people most impacted by homework - students - to weigh in with their thoughts on the pros and cons. Co-Host: Denise Ward, SST8 Educational Consultant and SESC Diversity Consultant Additional Resources: The Cult of Homework (article | 2019 | The Atlantic) Is Homework Good for Kids? Here's What the Research Says (article | 2016 | Time Magazine)
