Quote

What if we were concerned about children as whole human beings,…not merely as achievers or producers? How would truly nonacademic considerations bear upon the question of homework? Concerns about an excess of self-discipline, as I’ve already mentioned, may remind us of very different goals, such as emotional health and well-roundedness. The more seriously we take those goals, the less likely we should be to accept a regimen of daily homework.
