(40 points)Text 1The old saying that practice makes perfect seems to make no sense when it comes to schoolwork. Many educators today are looking for evidence to support the case for homework, but are coming up empty-handed. “Homework is all pain and no gain,” says author Alfie Kohn. He points out that no study has ever found a relationship between homework and academic achievement in elementary school.Mary Jane Cera is the academic administrator for the Kino School, a private, non-profit kindergarten0through-12th-grade school in Tucson, Arizona, and she maintains a no-homework policy across all grades. The purpose of the policy is to make sure learning remains a joy, not a thing that discourages social time and creative activity.Many supporters of homework argue that life is filled with things we dont like to do, and that homework teaches self-discipline, time management and other non-academic life skills. Kohn challenges this popular idea; he says that if kids have no choice when it comes to homework, theyre not really exercising judgment, and are instead losing their sense of autonomy.At the Kino School, Cera says children often choose to take their favorite parts of school home. “A lot of what we see kids doing is continuing to write in journals, practicing music with their friends, and taking experiments home to show their parents,” she says. Surveys of Kino graduates suggest that the early control they are given over their education continues to serve them well into college, and that they feel better equipped to manage their time and approach professors with questions than other students do.One of the reasons why we continue to assign homework, Kohn says, is our obsession（着迷）with standardized tests. Even if we can agree on the importance of kids doing better on tests, he says, there is no research to suggest that homework is the ticket to success.Wherever
