Fantastic Harold! Nicely put together. When I read the G&M article by Paul Cappon I e-mailed him and asked for his references to support that statement. He quoted the 2006 review by Harris Cooper (where the author clearly states NO correlation between homework and academic performance), and 4 unpublished studies. These are discussed on pages 39 and 40 of "The Homework Myth". There Alfie Kohn discusses them in detail. Not pretty.

It's pathetic!
