In Episode 1 of I Demand a Meeting, Jesse and Jared tackle one of the most emotionally charged topics in private education: homework.

Is homework still serving students—or has it become more about tradition than learning? The conversation explores how homework impacts families, why quantity doesn’t equal rigor, and how post-COVID expectations have shifted for parents and schools alike.

Key topics include:
• The tradition and emotional weight of homework
• Quality vs. quantity in assignments
• Homework’s role in family life
• Why more homework doesn’t always mean better learning

Whether you’re a teacher, school leader, or parent, this episode invites a thoughtful reexamination of what “good homework” really means.
