Homework and Deadlines

We have been battling for years on homework.  To assign it, not to assign it, to count it, not to count it, what to assign, how much to assign, etc.

There are many new books and resources about homework practices.  My opinion, right now because it will probably change 20 time sin the next year, is that if it's meaningful and has a purpose, then it needs to be assigned, if not, don't assign it.

Here is a great article on how deadlines can be "fair and unbalanced" when it comes to homework and projects: http://goo.gl/HGWg
