The Case Against Homework
I think homework tests diligence as much as anything.
To that end it should be short and easy.

I don't follow the logic? Surely long and difficult makes for a more trying test of diligence than short and easy.

Short and easy means more people will finish the homework and build a habit of diligence. Once you get used to skipping homework it is hard to start.

A bar is important. But too high a bar is discouraging.
