I am having trouble accepting that homework provides no benefit, something I have heard Stef say that studies show multiple times now. My experience with learning things is homework is an essential part of the process. When I was in school, I would go to the lectures and get the principles of the subject down, however it always required me going home and going through it myself, usually from multiple angles, via homework to actually have a decent understanding of the materials. Is there something I am missing about what Stef is saying? It just seems like such an obviously false claim that I am willing to think I am misunderstanding something. If it is not true, then saying it is is pretty damaging, because homework, like learning to read, takes delay of gratification and if you have the idea that there is no benefit then it will just be that much harder to be motivated. I understand that the school system is fundamentally ineffective at this point in time, so my question is: Is homework really not beneficial to learning, fundamentally?
