What is the stance on homework in relation to the reference to the book's position?

• A. The book advocates abolishing homework.
• B. Homework should be mandatory for all grades.
• C. Homework should be avoided entirely.
• D. Homework is acceptable in moderation, with age-based guidelines.

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that homework is seen as useful when kept in check and adjusted for the student’s age. The book supports homework as a helpful practice tool, but only in moderation and with guidelines that fit different developmental stages. This means younger students get lighter, more focused tasks, while older students can handle more, but the overall workload should remain reasonable. That balanced view sits between extremes: it’s not about abolishing or universally mandating homework, and it’s not about avoiding it altogether. The age-based approach ensures the task load aligns with students’ capacity and time for other important activities.
