25 Myths About Homework Posted by David Wees on Oct 23, 2010 Last night I asked people for help with my presentation on Myths about Homework which I am presenting today at Skeptic Camp in Vancouver. Within 15 minutes, we had 20 Myths, within another 15 minutes we had a total of 26 myths about homework with one duplication. Thanks for your help, I've turned these myths into a presentation you can view below. I think that homework may still be something which has value, but which probably needs to take a much different form than what it looks like now. Here's the pretty plain version using Google Docs.

When I'm doing math homework, I just really go fast and crazy, and in the end I still don't understand it, really. It's just a lot of pressure. And it shows: I'm always tired in class, because I spent all my night doing my homework! Teachers don't see "Vivian totally understands that." They see "Vivian did her homework." - vivian (Fires in the Mind)
