The book is structured to guide readers through this history, beginning with the earliest known uses of homework and their rationales, then detailing its expansion during industrialization. It addresses challenges to homework that arose during the progressive education movement and subsequent debates about workload and educational effectiveness.
Contemporary research into homework and its links to academic performance, student well-being, and equity are also explored. This book differentiates itself by providing a historical analysis combined with a review of contemporary research, challenging readers to reconsider their preconceived notions about homework. It avoids simply advocating for or against homework, instead offering a fact-based, nuanced perspective relevant to educators, policymakers, and parents.
