Homework Why’s and Homework-Wise

1. Chris, it’s very coincidental this is the topic of your post today, as we were just discussing this issue at class last night! I share a similar viewpoint as you and some of those whose work you cite. I agree with Alfie Kohn in most of his points, particularly that homework needs to be meaningful and relevant. Last night a teacher voiced her frustration about a student who was highly capable, scoring high marks on tests, clearly knew the content, but wouldn’t do homework. He therefore was receiving failing grades in that area and it negatively impacted his grade for the course. I tried to explain that perhaps she should re-evaluate why she’s even asking that student to do assignments that do not extend his thinking in the content area. We ask teachers to differentiate instruction in the classroom- assignments, if deemed meaningful and relevant, should be differentiated as well.

   Great post
   I agree 100% about H.W.
   I wish more agreed with what you said. One of the drawbacks is that in the eyes of the students and the parents Homework means the class is serious and we are learning. Even though that is often the furthest thing from the truth.
   Thanks for sharing

3. You bring up a great point Akevy. One of our teachers said, “I think that a reason that parents want more homework is so they know the learning that is taking place”. Now this is not always the case but communication about what is happening during the school day may help parents to feel more at ease. I get frustrated when lots of homework = hard teacher = perceived effective teacher. A great teacher does not rely on homework to enhance learning. Thanks for commenting.

5. Lyn, I had this same conversation with my principal at my previous school about 5 years ago. I had a student that was failing but passing all the quizzes and tests (my assessment practices have significantly changed since then). He asked me if there was anything that says I was supposed to assess effort on homework; he challenged me to omit the homework assignments and just include the tests and quizzes to see what would happen. By the end of the term, she had proven many times over that she understood the outcomes and enjoyed the class much more. Had this conversation never occurred, I may have made a huge error that could have significantly impacted a student. I’m glad the conversations are happening – keep it going!

6. I like #2 and the first part of #6. Giving students a choice in the homework that’s assigned provides variety and a way for them to take ownership of their learning. I would have loved some degree of choice when I was an elementary student!

   Also: “If a student understands the learning outcomes, why do they need to spend more time on concepts they understand?” Your wording in #6 is key here. Too often educators confuse the terms “knowledge” and “understanding”. I’ve heard these words used interchangeably in teacher circles and yet they are really quite different concepts.

   As a new teacher, I would shy away from assigning homework to intermediate students if the concept is already mastered.

   Collectively, our goal should be to promote understanding of the material we introduce, otherwise we run the risk of conveying knowledge that isn’t meaningful and thus quickly forgotten.

   Another great post Chris!

7. Chris, I would agree with you, and many others that homework, in the way it is given in many classes, is not beneficial. However, at times I still find it necessary to assign work to be completed at home. I find this to be more reactionary to the circumstances in the school where I have only forty minutes to teach a lesson to a Grade Eight English class for example (it was an ample hour and twenty minutes last year but). This is hardly enough time to have students work on their assignment after introducing the lesson, and consequently I wouldn’t assign it as homework on day one of the lesson. After forty minutes of work on day two, I would fully expect that students have completed a paragraph response etc. In many cases the students have homework only because they have not made the best use of their in-class time.
   If the goal of giving less homework is also to allow students to persue their passions I find that this is only true with a few students. Very few will take the initiative of having no homework to go and extend their learning. Though I agree with the point that there is value in not giving homework to younger learners so as to allow them family time and time for activities.

8. I think the real value of any learning done at home is the adult-child ratio. We all feel frustrated that we don’t have more time to spend with each of our students, especially the ones who are struggling. When this homework debate got big several years ago, I was teaching at a school that decided to ban homework so as not to be unfair to students who had little support at home. To be honest, I felt fury that my school chose to disadvantage students from good homes rather than offer an advantage to students who were not well-supported at home. At KENT, you have just implemented the exact opposite solution, which I can’t praise highly enough. Our struggling students can come in before school to get one-on-one reading time with volunteers when they may not have anyone at home who makes the time to read with them. Way to go, Chris — this is a way more productive way to address the imbalance of home support.

9. Yet another topic we all need to talk more about. Thanks, Chris!

10. Great post Chris. Sometimes we, primary teachers, can’t win. There are always parents who insist we need to give more homework “to prepare them for high school”. I get very frustrated by this – it’s akin to teaching for the test in my opinion.

    The regular homework contract I give my students includes their music/arts activities, sporting activities, community help, teaching others etc. This has been very popular with parents as they see it as working on kids’ time management skills whilst acknowledging and valuing things they do with the family.

11. Is homework getting in the way of exercise and socialization. Obesity and diabetes are 2 huge issues with outrageous costs. How often do students go home and tell parents they have to do homework, or are told they have to do homework(instead of playing outside) and turn it into a 2 hour ordeal including many video games or internet time. It seems to me kids today don;t get outside and play with the neighbourhood kids. How many smart kids have weak social skills because they have to spend their time doing homework.

12. Chris you have really hit the point home well. Why is homework being sent home? Does the teacher know for sure that its helping? Has as much time been put into the homework that is assigned as the lesson that was taught? Often the purpose seems to be lacking and is an after-thought. It is a shame that the after-thought causes so much family grief.

13. Having taught in elementary school for sixteen years and having had four children myself, I am in favor of redefining the purpose of homework so that it supports each student.
    We know children are naturally curious and we want to promote their curiosity, as well as allow them time to play, exercise, and spent time with family relaxing. When we assign specific tasks (workbook pages, writing prompts, math problems…), we are taking responsibility for learning out of the students’ hands, as well as diminishing their curiosity, not to mention taxing family life.
    In the elementary grades, if we think that homework is a discipline that supports a student in terms of time management, then yes, let’s assign an “academic time-frame” for students, but leave some choices in their learning. As the notion of homework changes and evolves to make it meaningful, students and teachers can frame together the choices a student makes as he/she would be responsible for reporting his/her use of that “academic” time. If we want them to read and write, why not ask them what they’d like to read (supporting those who need help choosing books) and ask them to write in a journal each night (about their learning, thoughts, findings…) If students wrote EVERY night in a journal about what they had pursued the evening before, their sense of curiosity would continue to expand AND their writing would naturally improve. In a weekly conference with students, the teacher would learn so much about the class. They would note what students need to improve in their writing, which would frame the writing mini lessons for the week ahead.
    If we want students to take responsibility for their learning, continue to support their curiosity about the world around them, engage parents in meaningful discussions about their child as a learner, then we need to reprogram the notion of the “what” and the “why” of homework, based on the research and what we know as sound educational practices for young students.

14. From Lynne (via email – some problems with comments function):

    1) The only reason that homework might be given is if the student needs more time to complete work due to not using the time in class to do it… with the help of teachers, etc. I preferred to keep them with me after school or at lunch hour so I could help them – and hopefully, they would realize that this was for their sake, not mine. After all, they would be making me stay late but it was better in the long run, if the parents would be okay with letting them do that. Giving the whole class homework, in mass, is ridiculous… only the few that were always caught up ever attempted it.

    2) I had a student who had a learning disability (before the days that it was recognized as such!) and his homework would come back done, if done, with more mistakes than he would have made during class time… and then I met his mom. She was a single mom with her own ‘learning disabilities’ trying to help him. I wish I had known more about students with challenges when I first started teaching… would have been easier on all of us.

    3) Some students waste time but other students just need more time… and hopefully, teachers and parents (and students) will understand that and be advocates for those students. In the real world, not everyone works at the same pace. However, they do need to realize that those that take too long to complete their work may not be hired to do the job next time, unless they are just taking longer to do a better job!

    It’s a tough call… but I think most kids would rather get the help from their staff members than from their parents.

    I had a long conversation with a man and his wife who home-school out of Saskatchewan… no regulations to follow whatsoever – they don’t even check up on them. They may ask for a comment once in a while but they can teach whatever they want. They are travelling with their 11 year old twins and homeschooling them while they are in Yuma. Sounded like they were trying but I also heard this comment… “If you don’t settle down and be quiet, we will go back and do school!” Ouch!! I’m not sure that they are getting the education they need in this situation.

15. From Mel (via Facebook)

    Love your last blog, Chris. _____ is in gr. 5 this year and does not come home with work unless it’s an asiignment he’s been unable to complete in class. Other than reading each night, he’s been asked to practice basic times tables, which… I completely agree with. I’ve heard the same complaints from my mom friends that in previous years with some homework we’ve had to ‘google’ how to complete it. Who’s homework is this, anyway? The child gets frustrated as much as the parent. I’m a little worried though when he gets into middle school next year and the work load becomes heavy again. Again, great article….wish it could be sent out to all the teachers!!

16. Great Post Chris. I especially like #5. Teachers often do not know what a child’s home life is all about, and what is expected from them by their parents when they walk through the door after school. I well remember having anxiety and restless nights of sleeping because I didnt do my homework because I didnt know how, or have the help I needed. I would dread the next day of feeling ashamed for “doing something wrong” or feeling less intelligent then other students because I didnt understand my homework. This often led to missed classes, or whole days to avoid the embarrassment, or “trouble” I would receive from teachers, moreover the big “trouble” i would receive from my parents because I wasnt attending those classes. Although this statement probably applies more to my middle and high school years, I thought it was relevant. NO MORE HOMEWORK!

17. Thanks for all the great responses! I am glad that this conversation continues to happen and grow. We had a great discussion at our PAC meeting last night around homework – one parent stated that homework lets her in on what is being taught at school. This is great insight (and one that a teacher mentioned at our staff meeting). So now the challenge to teachers is to keep parents informed of the learning activities/themes/units that take place during the week by writing blog posts, student blogs, updating teacher websites and/or sending/emailing home a weekly newsletter. One teacher at or school sends home an “Ask me about…” and lists some of the things that have happened during the week. The kids then get to brag about all the great things they are learning about! Great ‘homework’ for the kids and a great way to communicate with parents about the learning taking place in the class. As a principal, I send home/email “10 Good Things To Talk About” every Friday to keep parents informed of the great things happening at school (borrowed this idea from another principal).
    I think the main things to do the school learning focus at school and keep the parents informed. By doing , this we hope to see happier/active students and happier families!

18. Jenn – thank you so much for commenting! It is great to see both parents and teachers of Kent using the blog as a way to voice their opinions on school. You bring a very personal perspective to this discussion that probably hits home with many students and former students. Thanks again!

19. I homeschooled my children for the first four years. We had a very structured program and they learned to buckle down and get their work done in the morning, which left the afternoon for playtime. When we entered the school system and eventually high school, they must have carried that work ethic with them because they never seemed to have much homework. I worried about this as it gave me an uneasy sense that they were ‘sailing’ through school. After a time, and because they expressed appreciation for many of their teachers, I decided to stop worrying and just try to look at things differently. Sending them to another ‘more challenging’ school was not an option for us anyway. I have three in high school, one in elementary and one is about to graduate. I have realized that with less homework, my kids have the time to pursue other interests like music and sports, have part-time jobs when they are old enough, and spend time relaxing with family members doing non-school related things. Having a sense of balance seems to give them more energy for their school day.
    I read with interest all the information on the issue of homework that you provided and I agree that it would be great to receive some kind of info on what my child is learning in her class on a semi-regular basis.

20. Love #4(flexible) – Anyone with kids understands the importance of this. Are we not flexible in the room? My best plans are easily changed by throw-up, fire drills etc. Parenting is the same and we must allow for flexibility in homework. Mine is ALWAYS optional yet almost always completed by all.

35. It is broadly recommended that girls don’t use Dianabol as a outcome of virilization is nearly certain to occur.
    Some women can use this steroid at very low doses, but
    there are undoubtedly different way more appropriate compounds for females that don’t trigger such pronounced androgenic effects.
    Though a mighty AAS, beginner steroid customers can nonetheless often tolerate
    it nicely at lower doses, and 15mg can provide wonderful results (despite what some
    individuals may say). If you’ve received high-quality Dbol, a 15mg daily dose will give a unbelievable introduction to this steroid with manageable
    unwanted side effects.
    Testosterone cycles are broadly used to promote muscle development,
    lean mass, and strength features, particularly among steroid users aiming to boost muscle whereas managing
    fats. This guide covers how using anabolic steroids like testosterone enanthate works,
    the everyday cycle size, dosage, and the function of post-cycle therapy in maintaining total health.
    Whether you’re on TRT or starting your first AAS cycle, planning properly is important.
    An advanced cycle and stack will generally include numerous compounds and it’s here we
    will see the best doses.
    It is especially produced in the testicles, the place it ramps up production beginning
    at puberty and continuing at full throttle till you’re around 30
    years old, although this could vary between people.
    Testosterone Propionate is often priced higher than different
    esters like Enanthate and Cypionate. How widespread counterfeit pharmaceutical versions of Testosterone Propionate exist around the
    world just isn’t identified.
    Aligning your cycle with your goals is essential for optimal results.
    For instance, if your purpose is important muscle mass gain, you could consider incorporating a compound
    like Methandrostenolone from the medication category into your cycle
    (for the initial four weeks). In distinction, if fats loss
    is your aim, combining Oxymetholone from the identical medicine
    category with Testosterone Propionate (a faster-acting testosterone) may be useful.

    Starting with testosterone as the one anabolic Steroid tablets steroid in your first cycle
    lets you start with the most important steroid of
    all, which is ready to take a look at your body’s tolerance
    and response to steroids in a brief time. For chopping functions,
    the next dosage holds little profit however a better risk of side effects.
    Subsequently, as little as 200mg weekly, up to 400mg weekly is really helpful.
    An 8-week cutting cycle with Equipoise is beneficial, including if you’re doing a longer cycle with other
    compounds; use EQ for the primary eight weeks.
    Halotestin will enhance power and energy, and all this
    occurs because it will increase your purple blood cell measurements.
    With such a excessive anabolic ranking, it’s simple to assume
    that you’ll get huge anabolic results.
    By combining Winstrol and Deca, you get to scale back any water retention to a low degree, and if your diet and fluid consumption are good, fluid retention ought to be close to zero with this stack.
    In distinction, NPP will complement Winstrol by supporting your joints and lowering that infamous Winstrol joint pain and stiffness.
    This is a regular cycle using oral Winstrol, which requires
    the utilization of the slower-acting Deca. If you wish to decrease the
    use of other steroids when on Deca, a low dose of testosterone is commonly
    used.
    One of the much less talked about effects of Deca-Durabolin is elevated starvation. However if you’re on a mass gaining cycle,
    the increase in urge for food will nearly always be welcome.
    On the other hand, using Deca-Durabolin on a chopping cycle could cause some issues with urge for food when you’re
    trying to eat in a calorie deficit. Nonetheless, the decrease doses of Deca-Durabolin, normally used for chopping cycles, will likely minimize appetite modifications.
    This is among the more effective areas of Deca, even compared
    with lots of other highly effective steroids.
    Steroids might help improve muscle mass, enhance energy, and enhance overall performance.
    Nevertheless, it’s essential to method steroid utilization responsibly and under the steering of a healthcare skilled or skilled health skilled.
    Understanding the potential risks, correct dosage, and post-cycle remedy
    is essential to ensure safety and maximize the specified outcomes.

    It’s necessary to note that individual results may differ,
    and consistency in coaching, diet, and lifestyle factors play an important role in attaining desired earlier than and after transformations.
    By combining steroids with a complete method to fitness, people can doubtlessly unlock their body’s full potential and witness remarkable modifications of their
    physique. Even at low dosages, users of Testolone
    can count on impressive positive aspects
    in muscle mass, so you won’t want to use lots of this compound.

36. The fungus Rhizopus arrhizus for instance hydroxylates progesterone forming another steroid with the introduction of
    oxygen on the number eleven place. This process
    requires 37 steps many of which have to be carried out underneath extreme condition of temperature
    and strain with the ensuing product costing over $200 per gram.

    Nevertheless, our patients’ HDL levels usually decrease considerably from this trio,
    at the side of testosterone ranges falling to a hypogonadal
    vary. Clenbuterol is sometimes incorrectly known as a chopping steroid because of its anabolic effects, at least in research.
    However, clenbuterol’s most potent trait, in our expertise, is its metabolic effects.
    It is challenging to gauge the efficacy of Deca Durabolin in isolation, as it is often combined with different
    anabolic steroids. Despite this, we have observed decreased anabolism in users who remove Deca Durabolin from stacks.

    It’s recognized that higher-weight people have a lowered output of progress hormone and that growth hormone performs a
    important position in lowering and redistributing physique fat[1].

    Although HGH is a hormone, it’s a very different hormone from testosterone
    and other hormones we’re familiar with when using anabolic steroids.
    It has nothing to do with Steroids For Speed, and that’s
    something we need to be clear about from the beginning.
    Tren has a profound impact on energy features, allowing users to raise heavier weights and perform at greater intensities.
    It enhances muscle fiber recruitment, boosts pink blood cell production, and
    improves oxygen-carrying capacity, resulting in enhanced endurance and higher power output throughout workouts.

    The major problem in chemically synthesized cortisone is must introduce an oxygen atom at quantity 11 position of the steroid ring which may
    be accompanied by using microorganism. The fungus Cunningham Ella
    blakesleeana can hydroxylate the steroid cortexolone
    to form hydrocortisone with the introduction of oxygen at the number 11 place.
    Due To This Fact, cautious bodybuilders can improve their
    dose steadily to gauge their response to this drug within the
    early levels of a cycle.
    This course of entails their family and is designed to provide time, assist and area for shared,
    knowledgeable decision-making. Incubation of
    testosterone, androstenedione and progesterone with Cladosporium cladosporioides MRC
    for five days is reported. This was accompanied
    by a minor impartial oxidation at C-17 and epimerisation at C-17.
    Androstenedione was reduced at C-17 and hydroxylated at
    C-16β, and this was then oxidised to a ketone at C-16.
    Progesterone was hydroxylated at C-21, and this was accompanied by a minor independent 5α-reduction.
    Whereas short-term esters show quicker outcomes, they gained’t be as long-lasting.

    Some of the popular names on this category embrace Dianabol,
    Winstrol, and Anadrol, amongst others. In phrases of appearance, the long-term use of HGH
    may cause a distended-looking midbody (or “pregnant belly”)
    as a result of visceral fats accumulation.
    In Green Chemistry, biotransformations are an necessary chemical methodology
    towards more sustainable industrial processes. Are you fascinated in the incredible transformations and outcomes that
    can be achieved with Trenbolone? The above transformation is
    typical of the level of change we observe in bodybuilders after taking trenbolone for the primary time.

    They experience enhanced fat loss, increased muscle
    mass, more outstanding vascularity, and higher muscle definition.
    I hopped from clinic to clinic trying to find a doc that was prepared to monitor
    my use (I’m in Canada). After getting bloodwork done to establish my baselines, I started on my extraordinarily stupid first cycle of 200mg test-prop and 600mg
    tren-ace a week. We do not endorse supraphysiological dosages
    or the utilization of testosterone with no prescription. A bodybuilding patient of ours states that the current prices
    for testosterone cypionate, enanthate, and propionate vary from $45 to $50.
    Customers might find injections less troublesome if they rotate the muscle tissue they inject into.
    Some choices are the chest, glutes, thigh, side deltoids, and
    trapezius. Also, if a person doesn’t enjoy the injection process, they will choose a
    longer ester that requires fewer injections, corresponding to cypionate and enanthate.

    Nevertheless, in our experience, testosterone
    will increase the chance of virilization, and thus it’s not an optimal treatment for ladies.
    This trio of steroids can produce deleterious unwanted facet effects, even for experienced bodybuilders, and ought
    to be used sparingly, if at all. We typically see Anavar shift
    cholesterol levels, reducing HDL and growing LDL; subsequently, a modest enhance in blood strain may be
    anticipated (7). Trenbolone, like Deca Durabolin, provides reasonable progesterone activity,
    having the potential to trigger gynecomastia.
    Thus, customers might want to keep away from using SERMs to stop aggravating progesterone ranges.
    Deca Durabolin isn’t as powerful as testosterone, so
    increases in muscle hypertrophy are unlikely to be extreme.

    For proper mega muscle progress for hardcore bodybuilders, men take doses of up to 8iu.
    Besides the elevated price, the danger of all potential side effects will
    increase at this stage. Treatment of HGH deficiency is certainly one of the
    primary medical makes use of for artificial growth
    hormone. HGH can be used to help with muscle wasting-related conditions like HIV, where the affected person can in any other case battle to keep up and acquire lean muscle weight.

    This is why bodybuilders typically cycle clenbuterol for short durations, with brief protocols of 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off.
    The following is a complete list of additional anabolic steroid cycles that concurrently promote muscle hypertrophy and improve fat burning.
    Deca Durabolin will lead to a significant discount
    in testosterone levels, necessitating adequate rehabilitation post-cycle.
    Until pure testosterone levels return to regular, users are suggested
    to refrain from taking some other steroids and implement post-cycle therapy during this
    era. This stack was some of the prominent steroid cycles from the Golden Period, believed to have been utilized by
    Arnold Schwarzenegger and other basic bodybuilders from the 1970s.
    This steroid cycle is a more standard protocol amongst intermediate steroid customers.

    Trenbolone considerably reduces fats mass while facilitating muscle progress.

37. Throughout that whole time, you want to use one
    hundred milligrams of Testosterone Enanthate per week and
    600 milligrams of Deca per week. Empowering elderly sufferers with information about
    their steroid therapy is crucial for managing unwanted aspect effects and guaranteeing
    the very best outcomes. Let’s discover key methods for affected person education and self-management.
    It’s essential to teach patients and their caregivers concerning the withdrawal course of, potential symptoms, and when to hunt medical consideration.
    It’s really great for muscle wasting syndromes, and it could help with fatigue and weakness found in older patients.
    It’s also superior with dealing with anemia, and nandrolone has been found to even eliminate
    some types of mind most cancers, and for burn victims particularly, it might as
    nicely be a miracle drug. For children that suffer from dwarfism and
    sorts of physically developmental retardation, the
    drug is also very highly effective. However undoubtedly,
    where it reigns supreme in terms of its wonderful benefits is the area of osteoporosis.

    The finest method to avoid zits whereas taking Deca Durabolin is to keep your pores
    and skin clean and dry. You must also avoid carrying tight-fitting clothing, which
    can irritate the skin. Primarily Based on our testing, we
    consider trenbolone to be one of the potent and harshest AAS,
    whereas Deca Durabolin is delicate and FDA-approved
    (in medicine). We find trenbolone to be more anabolic than Deca Durabolin, which is mirrored
    in its anabolic score of 500 vs. Deca Durabolin’s a hundred twenty five.

    This consumer displays improvements in muscle hypertrophy and thickness
    after finishing a Deca Durabolin/Anadrol cycle. Testosterone and Deca Durabolin is likely
    certainly one of the least poisonous stacks a bodybuilder can make
    the most of in regard to side effects. Nevertheless, these SERMs also
    can improve progesterone (5), thus increasing nandrolone-induced
    gynecomastia with this stack.
    Thus, we record injectable Anadrol as being less
    hepatotoxic than oral Anadrol; however, it still strains
    the organ. With injectable Anadrol, you would possibly be getting 100% of the true dose, as
    it is not being broken down by the liver. With orals, they are C-17 alpha-alkylated, so a very excessive share
    of the steroid stays energetic, though your body won’t be
    utilizing 100 percent of the dose. Four women within the research confirmed slight virilization adjustments, despite being given big doses.

    If oral steroids are taken for longer than this you will need to cut back the dose steadily before stopping.
    Steroid medicines (sometimes known as corticosteroids)
    are man-made (synthetic) versions of steroid hormones produced by
    the body. When added to mass constructing cycles, which also needs to be testosterone primarily based, a variety of
    the compounds that stack properly embody Dianabol, Halotestin, Anadrol, Trenbolone, and Equipoise.

    MENT, a.k.a. methylnortestosterone acetate and as trestolone acetate (the
    chemical name of lively ingredient in MENT), is an oral by-product
    of the anabolic steroid nandrolone. Anadrol is designed to stimulate appetite,
    enabling customers to realize weight shortly.
    However, if doses are too excessive or the individual
    doesn’t respond well, we discover it sometimes decreases urge for food.

    Nonetheless, they will not be enough for some men, particularly if sensitivity because of progesterone plays
    a task. They will also do little or no to manage water retention, and if this can’t be managed by way of dosing and food plan an AI will be needed.

    As an anabolic steroid, the unwanted effects of Deca Durabolin will at all times embrace pure testosterone suppression. Knowledge has shown that the Nandrolone hormone has the power to suppress as much as 75% of all
    pure testosterone production with a single low dose injection.
    However it’s always a good idea to match with different AAS as a end result of Dbol won’t always be the most suitable choice on your targets.
    I would also like to understand how completely different AAS will deliver additional
    advantages to a stack. It’s also fascinating to match Dbol to other oral steroids as we will see how unique it’s (with most other orals being dry-cutting
    steroids). Customers of this level would possibly
    run Dianabol for a longer interval firstly of a steroid cycle and the next dosage while combining it with
