Tagging along on Cindy's idea, I have found a couple more articles that talk about the pros and cons of the infamous "homework". Here are links to two articles that have been published in Maclean's:
Homework Hysteria

Interview with Alfie Kohn, author of 'The Homework Myth'
http://www.macleans.ca/article.jsp?content=20060911_133063_133063&source=srch
And finally, here is one I found on the website for The Washington Post:
As Homework Grows, So Do Arguments Against It
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/11/AR2006091100908.html
So, for anyone who would like some extremely good points to tell teachers next time they assign mounds of homework( I do believe a couple of teacher's names were brought up...)check these out. Maybe our school board will decide to restrict the amount of homework(unfortunately, probably not in our final few months here).
