[quote=Anonymous]The "no homework, except to read" policy is nothing new. Many counties have implemented this philosophy in ES particularly the younger grades. Part of the no-homework drive is the lack of textbooks...which has been discussed ad nauseum before. Without books, there is no formal reference, examples, basis, etc and that makes it hard for parents to help with homework. The other part is that teachers, administration, and counselors found that many kids (esp those for low income families) didn't have the parental guidance/help with homework so these kids were practicing (relearning) math problems, for example, incorrectly. This made for additional work for teachers to un-do their mistakes. So day in, day out, week by week, month after month you have this cumulative effect of kids spelling words with no oversight by mom or dad. Or guessing at math problems. And the like. It was becoming completely counter-productive.[/quote]
