Teachers and Parents, what do you think about homework? How much is given, how it is given, how much sense it makes, parameters for good learning connected to it, are all addressed in this rich collection of essays on the topics of homework, evaluation, and how teachers support the whole learning process of a child in the tools they choose. 
 
This unique collection of essays on this challenging topic, richly illustrated in full color, is an invaluable resource from many experienced teachers who have clearly thought this through to a thorough and surprising conclusion. A dozen opinions from a cumulative hundred years plus of teaching in Waldorf schools makes this book a must for any who are wondering abut the meaning and effectiveness of homework and teachers' evaluation of student progress.
