Boingboing sounds off on excessive homework and 'teaching-to-the-test', via a review of Bennet and Kalish's "The case against homework". It's hard to imagine kids in kindergarten getting homework. I didn't get homework until grade 5, and I don't remember actually *doing* any until grade 8 or 9. It's not clear to me exactly what we're trying to turn kids into.
