…section and they deserve so much more attention! For example, did you know that the vast majority of studies done to show the benefits of homework failed to show benefits? If you like that -- read The Homework Myth: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing.
Interestingly the complaints would disappear if they just got rid of homework. No, I'm not being facetious. If you read The Homework Myth you'll find out that homework in grade school is a net neutral from a learning perspective. The benefit is that you get more practice.

A few years ago, I found The Homework Myth: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing an interesting read. It shaped my views on homework [context: US public schools]. http://www.alfiekohn.org/homework-myth/
Reading this reminded me of The Homework Myth (see http://www.alfiekohn.org/books/hm.htm for more on that). I'm not looking forward to arguing with my kids about doing homework. Particularly when I know how useless it is.

有意思的是，要是他们直接取消家庭作业，这些抱怨全都会烟消云散。不，我不是在开玩笑。要是你读过《家庭作业的迷思》，你就会发现小学阶段的家庭作业从学习角度来看是纯粹的中性效果。好处是你得到了更多练习。坏处则是如果没有监督，很容易就练错……

读到这个让我想起了《家庭作业的迷思》（更多内容见 http://www.alfiekohn.org/books/hm.htm）。我真是一点也不期待以后为了写作业跟我的孩子们吵架。尤其是我明知道这玩意儿有多没用。
