Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In 1901, the state of California legally banned homework. Now, parents and educators are again questioning the relationship between at-home assignments and student acheivement. Join guest host Frank Stasio for a discussion about how we learn and whether the problem of “homework fatigue” needs to be addressed head-on.
Guests
- Etta Kralovec Co-author of "The End of Homework" (Pub: Beacon Press, Boston, MA); also Vice President for Learning with Training and Development Corporation
- Nancy Paulu Researcher and writer, Office of Educational Research and Improvement, US Department of Education
