Ideally, we want children to understand that they are always learners. In school, we refer to them as "students" but outside of school, as children, they are still learners. So it makes no sense to even advertise a "no homework" policy in a school. It sends the wrong message. The policy should be, "No time-wasting, rote, repetitive tasks will be assigned that lack clear instructional or learning purposes."

Is the anti-homework movement another “throw the baby out with the bath water” phenomenon? If particular kinds of homework aren’t effective then we, as an educator community, need to look at that and make adjustments so that the things that we are assigning DO make a difference in learner performance. But getting rid of homework because it’s potentially aversive or so that kids can play more? I’m not convinced.

Homework: An Unnecessary Evil? | Psychology Today - 2 views

First, no research has ever found a benefit to assigning homework (of any kind or in any amount) in elementary school.
-
Second, even at the high school level, the research supporting homework hasn’t been particularly persuasive. There does seem to be a correlation between homework and standardized test scores, but (a) it isn’t strong, meaning that homework doesn’t explain much of the variance in scores,
-
Third, when homework is related to test scores, the connection tends to be strongest -- or, actually, least tenuous -- with math. If homework turns out to be unnecessary for students to succeed in that subject, it’s probably unnecessary everywhere.

Getting Grades out of the Way - 3 views

I was thinking about this as I sit with a couple of my seniors that are taking their final maths exam. One student knows that she is going to do great on the functions and the statistics but she is worried about sequences. It would be great if I could grade the test in chunks and give her the opportunity to show me (at a later date) that she can master the sequences material. So instead of getting one % grade on this final I can give them feedback on how well they did for each unit/topic.

Yep! Love it. He is still awarding a numerical grade which our grading system would do all sorts of unwanted magic with, but I love the basis of his thinking.
