Is learning still "in"?

The dispensability of homework

Homework is being abolished in Poland - which has led to heated debates here in Germany. What is the point of traditional homework, do we still need to learn at all? Author and scientist Christian Mähr has a clear opinion on this.  

The abolition in Poland is limited to the lowest school levels, but they are to be reintroduced at the higher levels. Have fun with that ... In truth, it will never happen anyway, on the contrary: the first brick has been broken out of the wall, in a few years homework will be abolished completely, and not just in Poland.
