How do you reconcile your
education as an area is
incredibly cargo cult-filled.
with your confidence in expressing
we've known ... homework at
that age was harmful
Maybe what "we've known" was cargo-cult to start with?
- labster 11y agoPresumably that can be reconciled with evidence. The article's first sentence states that there is no evidence that homework at a young age improves outcomes. At least this is a testable statement. Though I bet some students would be pretty unhappy if they came out on the homework side of the A/B testing.
- Terr_ 11y ago"Cargo Cult" implies a LACK of experimental evidence. You can carve a block of wood to look like a radio and mutter into it all day, but generally speaking it's not going to summon a cargo-airplane to your airfield of chopped reeds.
