Some educators are placing a new focus on homework this year in an attempt to make sure children are on a level playing field."It's not that homework always results in inequities," said Jessica Calarco, a professor at Indiana University who has studied the impact of homework."It's that when teachers interpret homework through the lens of meritocracy, homework starts to be practiced in inequitable ways.
She said those decisions treat homework as the result of"effort, responsibility, and motivation" without considering a student's home life. "It's hard to say that schools will, or should, just abandon homework outright," Calarco said."What we can advocate for is to be mindful of how we're practicing homework for schools that are going to continue doing so, and to try to avoid some of the practices that we outline."
