Homework has always been a part of every student's academic journey.

It is a way for teachers to

assess a student's understanding of the lesson and for students to practice and reinforce their
learning. However, as the years go by, the amount of homework given to students has significantly
increased, causing many to struggle and feel overwhelmed.

According to a study by the University of Phoenix, students spend an average of 17.5 hours per
week on homework, which is equivalent to a part-time job. This amount of workload can be
overwhelming, especially for students who have other responsibilities outside of school.

In her article, \"The Homework Wars,\" Dana Goldstein from The Atlantic discusses the debate
surrounding homework. Some argue that homework is necessary for academic success, while others
believe that it causes unnecessary stress and anxiety for students.

Regardless of which side you are on, one thing is for sure – homework can be challenging and time-
consuming. It requires a lot of effort, focus, and dedication, which can be difficult to achieve,
especially after a long day at school.

you have a particular audience in mind when you’re writing about the state of education and its
potential reform. Who inspired you while you were training as a journalist. This year, two particular
favorites did just that: Teju Cole’s Everyday is for Thief, and Jenny Offill’s Department of
Speculation. The book becomes a meditation on the value of her own life and the lives of the men

Mengestu, who has expressed his interest in “adding to the complexity and levels of the immigrant
narrative in America,” has done just that in All Our Names. You can be very invested in your child’s
education without also being President of the PTA. Interestingly, Campbell Brown, who’s now so
active in the anti-teacher-tenure activism, got her start in education policy as someone who spread
panic over teacher sexual assault. My Background I have been writing about these subjects for 17
years and have reported from 21 states, covering debates over gifted education, testing, private
school vouchers, teacher pay and segregation. In the calmest of prose, Mengestu evokes profound
displacement. He found that most had few or no memories of their parents pushing or prodding
them or getting involved at school in formal ways. Jordan Ellenberg is the Vilas Distinguished
Achievement Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin. What can our country no
longer afford (literally, morally and logistically) to continue stalling on finding a solution for. Well,
tenure is not a promise of a teaching job for life. These are the positive models I report on in Chapter
10, from schools where they have worked. And resistance to raising taxes was the major barrier to
this movement. Strangely enough, Zia Haider Rahman’s In the Light of What We Know also
reminded me of Conrad, but for completely different reasons, having to do with the layers of
narrators (there are two) and the contemplative weave of politics and fiction. About Contact Featured
Latest What I Cover I report on schools, families, educators and child care, and write about learning
from early childhood into young adulthood. The book has already received lots of attention for
reminding us that the contemporary controversies over education policy are not new. Former Florida
Governor Jeb Bush, a critic of teachers unions and supporter of online learning, is a hero in many
education-reform circles. This year’s book, Knots and Borromean Rings, Rep-Tiles, and Eight
Queens, features excursions through plane geometry (how can you cut three squares into six pieces
that can be rearranged into a single square. I’ll start simple: How is the development of the teaching
profession intertwined with the expansion of professional opportunity for women, starting from the
moment that 19 th- century education reformer Catherine Beecher conceived of teaching as a
suitable profession for middle-class white women. Many of my stories focus on inequalities in the
way educational resources are allocated. She received a Puffin fellowship from The Nation Institute,
a Schwartz fellowship from the New America Foundation, and a Spencer Foundation fellowship in
education journalism. I am a graduate of Brown University, where I studied history, and the public
schools of Ossining, N.Y. Journalistic Ethics As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to
the standards of integrity outlined in the paper’s Ethical Journalism handbook. A great example of
this is Belva Lockwood, who starts teaching at the age of 14 in an upstate New York one-room
schoolhouse. It is not written by and does not necessarily reflect the views of Education Week's
editorial staff. There was this incredibly insane idea that kids didn’t know where babies came from.
GEB: EGB was the kind of book you could read again and again, and I did—at first, reading mostly
the sections of dialogue between talking animals, but each time getting deeper and deeper into the
technical material, until on the ninth or tenth go-round I’d finally grasped it all. Now, as the
incoming president of the College Board—the nonprofit that administers the SAT, the Advanced
Placement program, and a number of other testing regimens—he hopes to effect change from the
top down, by shifting what is expected of students applying to college and, he hopes, by increasing
the number of students who apply in the first place. Finally, she noted that the “fire the worst
teachers” theory of improvement seems particularly problematic as the issue of teaching quality is too
big, and the need for new teachers already too great. And teachers are perceived, and I don't know
that this is totally fair, are perceived as having it easier. One of the things that teachers are really
concerned about these days is the focus on high-stakes testing. All kids benefit from integrated
schools, and there are wise people in the charter school movement, the magnet schools movement,
and in the world of urban education and housing policy who are working on this. Anthony
Carnevale, the director of the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, thinks not. Those
fruitful linkages helped fueled fast-paced progress. One of the points I like to make is that teachers
themselves are victims of that deepening inequality. There’s good research showing that, often,
teachers of color have this additional impact with students of color. Ann Hulbert is the literary editor
of The Atlantic and the author of Off the Charts: The Hidden Lives and Lessons of American Child
Prodigies. A formative book for me in writing The Innovators was The Autobiography of Benjamin
Franklin. Seriously, only kids with good grades have good parents and kids with bad grades
obviously have bad parents. To prepare for his bar mitzvah at age 13, Coleman learned to chant in
Hebrew the story of Joseph interpreting the pharaoh’s dreams. He recalls debating the parable’s many
interpretations with his family rabbi, telling me proudly, “There’s no watered-down version of the
Bible.” As an undergraduate at Yale, Coleman launched a program in which college students
volunteered to tutor at New Haven’s James Hillhouse High School, which was predominantly black
and poor. This year’s first “question-of-the-week” will be published in about ten days. You know,
before Gates there was the Ford Foundation and others. Most experts believe that faithfully testing
the Common Core standards would result in only a small minority of American children being
declared “on track” for college or a career. Some are so good, that kids are choosing to watch these
math videos (and doing the associated work) instead of playing video games or watching TV. Adrift
and burned out herself, she knows nothing of his past, and they begin an affair that offers an

woman would achieve economic stability, something you had to do. At the same time I say in the
book that teaching is the most controversial profession in America and that teachers have been
embattled since the 19th century. We’ve always put high expectations on teachers in terms of role
they play in civic life but the way we define that role has changed over time. Do you have a
particular audience in mind when you’re writing about the state of education and its potential
reform. Once you fire someone, you have to replace them, which is a challenge. He has spent the
past year traveling from state to state, showing English teachers how to lead a close reading of great
literature. Teachers have to be part of conversations about evaluation and the curriculum, and they
have to have meaningful leadership opportunities within their schools and districts. I think they will
combine my interests in history, literature, gender, justice, and social policy. Has tenure outlived its
usefulness in the 21st century. Advertisement Her new book is called The Teacher Wars: A History of

that only one in every four American high-school graduates is ready to do college-level reading,
writing, science, and computation.
And we set them up for success.” This was featured in live coverage. What’s more, a lot of smart
college seniors are simply unsure of what they want to do professionally, but are generally
progressive and eager to give back in some way. Advertisement And it's not that people haven't tried.
He told me he is satisfied with his district’s new system, which removes tenure protections just for
the 2 percent of veteran teachers, annually, who are rated “ineffective.” In Colorado, state senator
Mike Johnston, a leading national reformer, offered the figure 10 percent. Goldstein's book is full of
stories of women who transformed school houses and the nation. Goldstein’s history reminds us that,
given our radically decentralized system, what counts isn’t sweeping federal calls for reform. As a
result, states and school districts were largely left to their own devices, and test-makers were
hesitant to ask questions about actual content. I worked on my high school and college newspapers,
did internships in daily journalism and magazines, and then moved to Washington, D.C. after
graduation and worked at a small political magazine, The American Prospect. The superintendent in
New Haven, Garth Harries, is smart and thoughtful. The more I know, the more confident I feel in
writing. I suspect that I’m not the only teacher who didn’t know there was an early nineteen century
predecessor to Teach For America that sent teachers to the U.S. Western frontier, or that Susan B.
Her take on the problem was refreshing in that she seems to understand teachers well, and shared
what a teacher recently told her: education reform must be done in ways that make the job
stimulating to adults as well as children. Yet for many American students, perhaps even the majority,
that may never be the case. I think for Beecher this was a pragmatic way to get her point across.
Sometimes not in a sexual way, but because the character lacks a private life, she’s going to become
unhealthily obsessed in some way with your child. How did the sexual revolution of the late 20 th
century have an impact on that. Who inspired you while you were training as a journalist. She
needed to make this pragmatic appeal to cheapness because one of the main barriers for early
education reformers was trying to make education compulsory, so that parents had to send their kids
to school. Schools are masters at manipulating adults into believing that grades are the measure of
whether you are a good parent. We have to provide teachers with more pre-service and in-the-
classroom instructional training and mentorship. LF: The other point that surprised me was what
appears to be your dismissal of LIFO (last in, first out) policies. This year’s book, Knots and
Borromean Rings, Rep-Tiles, and Eight Queens, features excursions through plane geometry (how
can you cut three squares into six pieces that can be rearranged into a single square. Once you fire
someone, you have to replace them, which is a challenge. Dana Goldstein: I want to be clear that
there is no silver bullet, which is why The Teacher Wars isn’t what I sometimes jokingly call a “fix-it
book.” I make 11 recommendations in the epilogue because there are a number of steps we could
take to make teaching more effective. After collective bargaining, teachers do see a big spike in pay.
LF: Your historical examples and anecdotes about the teaching profession and its challenges are
fascinating. Adrift and burned out herself, she knows nothing of his past, and they begin an affair
that offers an anchor—as well as reminders of just how alien they are to each other. Education is a
universal experience, but one that brings up vexing personal and political divisions. Maybe 40
percent of our kids are ready if we benchmark them against the world’?” Bush’s tough-love position
is easy for a former politician to take, but less so for a current elected official. Or these witch hunts
in which tens of thousands of American teachers lose their jobs either because they are Communists
or have expressed some interest in communism.
Random House; Farrar, Strauss and Giroux Wendy Lesser: I’ve read three great new novels in 2014.
A Child Called “It,” a memoir by a man who was horrifically abused as a child by his alcoholic
mother, is one of the most commonly read books in American English classes. But when people from
the business world look at schools, they tend to want to bring the ideas they are familiar with that
have to do with data and efficiency and measurement, and apply them to schools. One of those
works was Isolation in the School, written in 1900 by Ella Flagg Young, the first woman to lead a
major urban school system—Chicago’s. But I do feel teachers themselves ought to be highly in
determining what good teaching is. This divides lifelong compatriots Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Susan B. The Italian writer Andrea Canobbio’s Three Light-Years is an intense, appealing,
beautifully constructed novel about lives that took place before the narrator was born. Wendy Lesser
is the founder and editor of The Threepenny Review. Yes, and at the heart of so much of that is one
of most interesting cleavages in feminism: whether or not the feminist in question thought teaching
was a respectable job. And we set them up for success.” This was featured in live coverage. If there
is something I should read that I missed, I hope you and your audience will let me know. She has
created a memorable collection of melancholic vignettes about identity, place, and coupling. One of
the things that teachers are really concerned about these days is the focus on high-stakes testing.
When your heart beat coincides with the ONE, when your eyes see the ALL. The story tracks the tale
of two girls, the choices they make around pregnancy, partnership, and education, and the ways in
which the seeds of a childhood friendship produce vines that nearly choke each other out. He was an
inventor, innovator, and information networker. She expects readers to disagree with her, and hopes
they’ll go reconsider—or discover—writers as different as Dostoevsky and James, Alexander
Herzen and Patricia Highsmith. “Nothing takes you out of yourself the way a good book does,”
Lesser writes, “but at the same time nothing makes you more aware of yourself as a solitary creature,
possessing your own particular tastes, memories, associations, belief.” Her own book is invigorating
proof of just that. In the early 19 th century there is this Christian, moral definition of the female
teacher, who’s responsible for saving the soul of the child. But actually, a lot of female teachers were
not only supporting themselves but also family members—elderly parents, sometimes younger
siblings if their mother was widowed or dad was unemployed. This year, two particular favorites did
just that: Teju Cole’s Everyday is for Thief, and Jenny Offill’s Department of Speculation. The book
becomes a meditation on the value of her own life and the lives of the men themselves. By Dana
Goldstein “She ran for governor, saying she was going to do universal school choice. Do you have a
particular audience in mind when you’re writing about the state of education and its potential
reform. A lot of the great research on motivation in education was conducted before today’s “no
excuses” movement was in full flower. In the calmest of prose, Mengestu evokes profound
displacement. Her work appears in publications like The Atlantic and Slate. I offer some ideas and
evidence in chapter 8 of the book, and also in the epilogue. Adrift and burned out herself, she knows
nothing of his past, and they begin an affair that offers an anchor—as well as reminders of just how
alien they are to each other. The idea of infrastructure is one that I find appealing for addressing
quality teaching, suggesting that our work depends on more than our individual skills and dedication,
and that the responsibility for improving education belongs to everyone whose decisions and actions
create the context for the work of teachers. So it makes sense that, because their job is so politicized,
teachers should have a little more protection than the average worker.
At the same time I say in the book that teaching is the most controversial profession in America and
that teachers have been embattled since the 19th century. She is known as a critic of academic hyper-
specialization and as a defender of classic liberal-arts education. In 2007, with two partners, he
launched the nonprofit consultancy Student Achievement Partners to promote national curriculum
standards as a means to finally close the academic achievement gaps he had observed throughout his
career, beginning in that New Haven classroom with the kids who weren’t ready for Yale. I definitely
think they come from a place of teachers being embattled, and they often have a gut reaction, as
organizations, to react in that way. There are aspects of TFA’s traditional model that I find
problematic, such as the five-week training period, and aspects of TFA that I admire greatly, such as
their ability to inspire people to become teachers in low-income schools, and to inculcate those
teachers with the belief that all children can learn. So far, stagnant teacher pay has been driven by
different forces, such as austerity policies in the public sector, and also by pay scales and ladders that
require people to work for many decades before reaching a decent salary. Other reformers and social
agitators, including the suffragist and abolitionist Susan B. When top teachers are asked what would
make them change jobs to work with a lower-income population of kids, they answer “a great
principal.” And we can’t forget about the problem of deeply segregated schools, where over 90
percent of kids are poor and non-white. Another favorite idea of mine is to focus more on the role of
the principal. As for my own writing, I’m not sure what All Our Names would have looked like had I
not had Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North on my nightstand, in my bag, on my desk. Is
it helpful if I help you with homework?’?” he told me. “We think about informing parents and
schools what they need to do, but too often we leave the child out of the conversation. How could I
help introduce them to some of the real-life teachers throughout American history whose ideas are so
relevant today, whether Anna Julia Cooper’s beliefs about a liberal arts curriculum for poor, black
students or the ways in which President Lyndon Johnson’s own teaching experience shaped the War
on Poverty. We see working hours getting longer and longer and less and less predictable. Sometimes
not in a sexual way, but because the character lacks a private life, she’s going to become unhealthily
obsessed in some way with your child. Ward gives us the impact on her community, on her sense of
self, on her place in the world, on her family. Hofstadter wasn’t just writing about math; he was
writing about the way the mathematical ideas of recursion and encoding were present everywhere,
helping make sense out of paintings, fugues, and our minds themselves. I think idea that parents and
teachers are flip sides of same coin is very tied up with fact that teachers are women. I send them to
reviewers eager to offer their thoughts on this or that author’s latest effort. I also read widely, from
government reports, research journals, historical accounts and many other sources. We were really
idealistic about doing political journalism that was as much about policy and big ideas as it was
about personalities. This year’s first “question-of-the-week” will be published in about ten days.
Research by Sandra Stotsky at the University of Arkansas has found that the average American
high-school student is most frequently assigned books at a middle-school reading level, and that the
difficulty of assigned reading does not increase between ninth and 11th grade. Dana writes about
education, gender, race, social science, inequality, criminal justice, health, and cities. Advertisement
Her new book is called The Teacher Wars: A History of America's Most Embattled Profession. That
teachers unions are these white-dominated organizations and they don't understand what parents of
color want for their own kids and they are not necessarily putting the needs of poor children first.
Early in 2020, I began documenting the phenomenon of mass student absence from remote learning,
and the glaring inequities between the services that public and private school students received
during the pandemic. Meanwhile, Anna Julia Cooper is resisting this idea, and claiming that teaching
is the most exalted work because it’s a way for her to lift up her community. The minute I picked up
Molly Antopol’s The UnAmericans, I wanted to know this author of short stories about displaced
Jews, in former Soviet States, in Israel, in this country. I have a special interest in the curriculum and
political battles over education. Youth unemployment is at a staggering 17.1 percent in the U.S.,
compared with less than 8 percent in Germany and Switzerland.
