Why read it?
1 author picked The Case Against Homework as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This oft-neglected topic deserves adult attention. Why are we burning out our kids with homework, especially if it’s not necessary?

The authors are smart and plucky. If you have school-age kids in your life, you owe it to them to read this book.
From Heather's list on parenting books to make you think or re-think.
