Homework... the dread, the procrastination, the necessary evil?

This week's 8th grade hosts, Salil and Shauna, take on the topic of homework and discuss the merits and downfalls of work outside of the school day. They interview classmates Drew and Ryan and all four talk through whether homework is worthwhile and what makes class projects fun and engaging.
