02/09/2008: "Homework isn't terrible, schoolwork is useless"

Homework is of little benefit to students from junior kindergarten to Grade 6, say the authors of a just-released Canadian study, who also found it is often the source of stress and burnout in children, as well the cause of conflict – even marital stress – for many families.

[ More likely schoolwork is 50% propaganda and the rest is dumbed down so that unequal kids don't have to feel their lack of promised equality. School, as the state makes it, is a waste of time. Moderate amounts of homework can be productive if it's not busywork. The writer of this article was not smart enough to think to investigate that. ]
