Ever wondered if homework is really helping our kids, or if it's just adding to their stress? Join me as I pull back the curtain on the ongoing debate over K-12 homework practices. In this episode of K-12 Education Untangled, I navigate the complex landscape of homework's value, the "homework gap" caused by unequal access to resources, and the impact of homework on student well-being. I’ll explore research findings on student stress, the quality versus quantity conundrum, and the 10-minute rule for assigning homework. Plus, I discuss the implications of potentially eliminating homework, especially how it might affect low-income students.

In another intriguing segment, I delve into the crucial role of parental involvement—its benefits and pitfalls—and share actionable strategies for developing effective homework routines. As the episode wraps up, I introduce a handy downloadable checklist with five top homework hacks to make your child's homework routine more effective.
