The document outlines the author's perspectives on homework, homeschooling, and standardized testing that changed over the course of a class. Originally, the author believed homework should be minimized, homeschooling prevented social development, and testing reduced. Through grading homework, research, and seeing teacher stress, the author now feels homework should be limited to a few times a week, homeschooling allows social skills, and testing places too much stress on students and teachers while not fully representing achievement.
