Like it or not, most students are given homework at some point in their primary-school careers. Here ten contributors, who have all experienced this reality in the classroom and the home, join together to offer balanced advice and suggestions to parents, carers and teachers about ways of managing homework so that it becomes more pleasurable and productive. They lay considerable stress on the home–school relationship, and have also included a variety of ideas for opening up discussion of homework within school communities.
