Homework is appropriate for ALL core subjects, not just math.

I disagree. You don’t always need homework in English, History, or Science.

Reading, as well as taking notes/annotating, is an appropriate homework assignment for English, history, and science.

From your response, it also seems appropriate to assign grammar and mechanics practice.

The use of that comma at the end used to be the way they did it. I’m old school.

I assume you are referring to the Oxford comma. It is still preferred, in most styles other than Associated Press, to use the Oxford comma.

It is not, however, appropriate to capitalize general subjects such as history, math, or science.

Except when teachers were tied up retesting kids with 75-89%. My sped kid gave up on getting remedial help. The process was too bogged down.

All of the tests were on the computer so the teachers didn’t even have to grade the retakes. It really wasn’t that time consuming other than they should have to create a second test. But once the test is in a digital format, it was digitally graded.

Exactly. Most parents dont know that most of the assignments and tests are digitally graded.

Meaning there doesn't need to be homework every day? If so, I agree.

But for English and History, at the middle & high school level, at least 30 pages of outside of class reading per week is a reasonable and necessary expectation.

But there are no textbooks to read!

But yet you yourself capitalized “English” in your response to me? Huh.

I wasn’t referring to general subjects. I was talking about the specific courses of English, History, and Science (I was thinking of elementary for Science) but in high school it would be Biology or Chemistry. Anyway, that really isn’t important. You don’t necessarily need homework all the time in those courses, but in math you do to build on each lesson and practice the concept learned that day. You don’t necessarily need to “practice” anything from Biology daily like you do math.

Of course I did. English is both a language and a proper adjective, so it is always capitalized.

No matter how you try to spin it, history, science, and math are general subjects. Had you written "Environmental Science I," "World History II," or "Principles of Mathematics," you would be listing specific course names, which would be capitalized.
