With the time-honoured tradition of homework likely to come to an end starting in 2014, parents say they will lose their primary method of following along with what their children are learning. Last year’s school reform makes it possible for schools to let students do their assignments during school hours, and many are expected to do so. Educational experts say there is no educational benefit of homework, but 70 percent of parents said it helped their children by giving them additional academic practice and by instilling a sense of discipline and responsibility. Christine Antorini (Socialdemokraterne), the education minister, expected parents to be able to follow along with their children’s schooling by reading their lesson plans online. – Berlingske
