[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 72646, member: 10"] Kathy, Thanks for sharing. I was quite intriqued from where Harris Cooper comes to her conclusions that homework is good and the formula is 10 minutes for each grade. Since Alfie Kohn has recently come out with his book the ' Homework myth' and he is known to very thorough in examining research I asked a friend who has the book about the Duke research. He said that the book The Homework Myth, reviews the arguments and research on this question in some detail. It also contains an extended analysis of this very researcher (Harris Cooper), who seems to disregard his own data when it comes time to make recommendations. For example, the idea of 10 minutes a night of homework per grade level is based on absolutely no research at all; it's basically plucked out of the air. I have no problem with people having different views about homework. I think it is great news that our children and families have an advocate like Alfie Kohn in area that causes so much stress and tension [url="http://www.alfiekohn.org/teaching/rethinkinghomework.htm"]http://www.alfiekohn.org/teaching/rethinkinghomework.htm[/url] see his site [url="http://alfiekohn.org"]http://alfiekohn.org[/url] [/QUOTE]
