5.0 out of 5 stars Author is the leader in homework research!, August 13, 2008
By Kim S. Harvey "frog teacher" (North Central Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book while working on my master's thesis. Harris Cooper is the leader in homework research. He discusses research, pros & cons, common problems & troubleshooting and does it all in a way that is easy to read. Every other book or article I've read about homework had some reference to, or quote from, Harris Cooper. He is funny & intelligent-an enjoyable, quick read. I have loaned my books to other teachers, the principal, and parents. All who borrowed books raved about them. If you are researching homework or struggling with homework issues at school or home-you need this book. A+
