Cooperative Catalyst Educators talked about what kids could do if they weren’t assigned so much homework. They felt like kids didn't learn as well due to so much homework. Kids could use all the extra time to study. A small study was done and proved that when kids aren't loaded down with homework their grades were much better
I totally agreed with homework being deleted. My wife is in nursing school, and she has huge amounts of homework each day. She doesn’t get much rest, because she also has to study after completing her extensive homework. I believe studying is more important than doing homework in most situations.

For the Love of Teaching talked about the importance of listening. They preferred to teach the skill of listening separate from the skill of focusing. They wrote" Young children's listening and speaking competence is in advance of their reading and writing competence". Once a child is aware of listening as a specific skill, he or she is able to be metacognitive in its application.
I know that listening is a very important component. Listening does help with other areas of development. Listening skills are very useful in day to day life as well. It’s important for teacher to be very careful when teaching the skill of listening.
