The Homework Myth by Alfie Kohn
Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing
The book challenges the widely held belief that homework is an essential component of education, arguing that it often leads to unnecessary stress and does not significantly enhance learning or academic achievement. Through a critical examination of research studies and educational practices, the author contends that homework can diminish students' interest in learning and undermine their natural curiosity. The book advocates for a reevaluation of homework policies, suggesting that meaningful learning experiences should prioritize quality over quantity and encourage intrinsic motivation rather than rote completion of assignments.
