5.0 out of 5 stars Objective consideration of homework, February 3, 2008

This review is from: Is Homework a Waste of Time? (What Do You Think?) (Paperback)

Another great contribution from Kate Shuster. This book is excellent for students, teachers, and parents. There are good and bad things about homework. It objectively shows readers how to consider both sides of an issue and then has a section where the reader decides his or her position. Great discussion starter and topic for debating. This is part of the new "What Do You Think" series and I highly recommend all eight of them.
