Quote

It’s understandable that parents critical of homework would fault teachers, teachers critical of homework would fault parents, and students critical of homework would fault both. But it’s important to recognize that all three constituencies often have a substantial burden in common, along with a feeling of powerlessness. To blame any of the victims here is to miss the structural issues, the forces that discourage us from asking whether homework is really desirable or inevitable.
