Are you having trouble with getting your kids to do their homework? Tired of nagging them to do their homework, and trying to get them to care? What if I told you the real problem with homework may be that you assigned it?
In this session we will go mythbusting as we take a closer examination of the research or lack of behind homework. We will rethink the academic and non-academic reasons for assigning homework, and figure out how we can change the default from having homework as the rule to making its absense the default.
