The reason that homework has been an issue may not have anything to do with education, but with power. Who controls a student’s time? Is it the child, the parent, or the school?
-
A parent who sees education as a means to an end promotes homework completion as part of this inculcation of values and watches with interest the assignments and results. The parent who does not care or sees such out of school work as an infringement on their rights as a parent to deal with their child's time outside of school as the wish is another matter. These parents my feel that playing sports, taking music lessons, or even school time vacations are better uses of their child’s time and who can argue with that belief.
