Leksemyten

Debatten om lekser går friskt.   Denne boken av Alfie Kohn som heter The Homework Myth burde leses av dem som jobber med og mener noe om læring og lekser. Her er litt av omtalen av boken:

So why do we continue to administer this modern cod liver oil-or even demand a larger dose? Kohn’s incisive analysis reveals how a set of misconceptions about learning and a misguided focus on competitiveness has left our kids with less free time, and our families with more conflict. Pointing to stories of parents who have fought back-and schools that have proved educational excellence is possible without homework-Kohn demonstrates how we can rethink what happens during and after school in order to rescue our families and our children’s love of learning.
