Information on no/less homework in Spanish?

[Flor]

I'm leading a meeting in Spanish tomorrow night and the topic is homework. The parents think the kids need more of it and I'd like an article or two giving a different point of view. Anyone know of an articles/links/resources on the topic in Spanish?

No, but might I suggest more meaningful homework if the parents want it? I remember hating and not really seeing the point of Spanish homework when it had a lot of worksheets, text book work, etc. Find something that really fits into the life of the students and work with that.

I don't, but I'm thinking you are talking about a meeting with Spanish-speaking parents about homework in general, not about Spanish class?

Yes you are right! I need articles in Spanish about why students should have less homework. And, I did find an Alfie Kohn article translated on his website. Any other suggestions would be useful, too.
