What are team homework projects?

I am sick of homework at my house. Mainly because most of the homework is just busy work. My kids do not need to write their spelling words three times if they already know how to spell the words.

One of my daughters has brain damage. She's done really well, but she is spent at the end of the day. She does okay with math homework because she's good at math. However, she loses it when it comes to any writing assignments. Then we end up getting into fights. I just don't need that with her.

I think I'm going to fight the homework thing more next year.

There's a short but excellent book on this subject called "The End of Homework". I can't recall the author's name, and she's actually rather left-leaning, but she's right on the mark about this homework mania.
