    Article from Sunday Business Post by Jennifer O'Connell echoing my belief that homework for under 12's is cruel and unnecessary.

    Am a big fan of her work :)

    Also here is news from the Irish Primary Principals' Network (IPPN)

    "Tens of thousands of schoolchildren have reason to cheer. Irish primary principals have finally admitted that homework is a waste of time.

    All those hours spent toiling on sums and Irish vocabulary, with accompanying high-pitched grumbles to parents, are futile, if we are to believe the Irish Primary Principals' Network (IPPN).

    The IPPN told last Thursday's Oireachtas Committee on Education: "There is little evidence to suggest that homework as we currently know it has any real benefit.''"     source = independent.ie ( not a big fan of their work :) )
