- catalog abstract ""Etta Kralovec and John Buell lead us through the history of the American classroom. They review the scant studies that have been conducted and cite historical documents on both sides of the debate, and they examine the lives of students who may come home to overworked parents and domestic responsibilities and yet be faced with hours of schoolwork. In assigning massive amounts of homework to students, teachers and schools may be abdicating their responsibility to teach. The authors forcefully advocate for carefully considering how homework might be reformed. Most important, they offer a way for schools to accomplish the difficult task of educating our children without an over-reliance on homework."--Jacket.".
