Re: The Myth About Homework

[WyoCheek@aol.com]

I am unsure this homework argument is really valid. I think homework  and the 
amount when required correctly is a valuable tool in  self-discipline, 
self-discovery, and self-learning. As an example, my kids  had a teacher where half 
their grade was based upon their own homework  quality. I was amazed at their 
abilities to locate content and organize it  into meaningful reports. Funny 
thing too when it came to tests, their  scores were "A's". Homework as a too is 
not a negative. In life, we learn we  have to dig for information all the 
time. The fact it can be  frustrating speaks to patience and self-disciple... 
learn not to  quickly give up just because it is not fun but hard and yes maybe  
boring. Exercises for the sake of business is not the answer I agree.  But 
really, how many people learn everything new on the first  try....
