The Homework Trap: How to Save the Sanity of Parents, Students and Teachers

Principal's Page

THREE REASONS WHY PRINCIPALS SHOULD LOVE THE HOMEWORK TRAP!
  1. Reduced disciplinary problems
  2. Increased teacher motivation and satisfaction
  3. Leadership in educational excellence

Reduced Disciplary problems:

The Myth of Motivation tells us that we erroneously think that homework noncompliance is a behavioral problem, whereas misbehavior is actually a byproduct of homework completion difficulties. Look at homework noncompliance as a learning, rather than a behavioral problem, and you’ll cut disciplinary problems by a substantial amount.

Increased Teacher Motivation and Satisfaction:

No one likes to fail. Everyone likes to do well.  A successful teacher is a happy teacher and a happy teacher becomes more successful at his or her work. Reduce homework problems. Decrease teacher frustration. Improve education.


Leadership in Educational Excellence:

Although a widely accepted policy, homework is not well supported by research, and teachers are not trained in homework-giving in their schools of education. The Homework Trap gives you a chance to be a leader in cutting edge educational practice to the long term benefit of the children and your staff.
