A conversation 

I'm in an educational policy class.
This morning we were looking forward at what we'd discuss today.
I pointed to the "should we include homework?" part of the future discussion and said to my small group, "My husband wrote his dissertation on this."

"It's pretty much useless, right? Homework?" said my classmate, as if everyone knew the answer already.

"Actually, NO... he found it's extremely effective (at least in math) in decreasing the SES achievement gap."

Hurry up and publish that dissertation of yours, Steve! We all need it.
