<p><strong>&quot;Matt and Alice are challenging educators to fly again. To give up the shortcuts and the bureaucratic tools and actually go back to making change happen. Bravo!&quot;&mdash;Seth Godin, author, Stop Stealing Dreams</strong></p><p><strong>Students hate it. </strong></p><p><strong>Parents wonder if it&rsquo;s worth the tears, frustration, and nightly arguments. </strong></p><p><strong>Teachers debate whether it&rsquo;s really helpful or just busywork that consumes their precious time.</strong></p><p><strong>One thing everyone can agree on is that homework is a contentious topic.</strong></p><p><strong>In Ditch That Homework, Matt Miller and Alice Keeler discuss the pros and cons of homework, why teachers assign it, and what life could look like without it.
