I don't think they should just throw out homework. I have to imagine there is a huge difference between homework done with a parent helping vs independent study. I bet homework where the parent is involved is successful (at least it was for me... and no not the parent doing the work) as it is basically extended school time and I wish the study looked into that more. Also what about an option to choose a particularly subject for homework. That is give the child a choice of which subject to learn more about after hours.
