This. For us, our AAP center has a “no homework” policy, but students are expected to still read daily. My AAP student also will have work to complete at home that did not get completed in class; so far this has been 5-15 minutes of finishing something up. Meanwhile our base school does not have a no homework policy (but is also FCPS) and a minimal level of homework existed for the child now at center.

I do understand the rationale behind instituting a no homework policy, I do think a minimal level of reasonable homework still serves to help keep parents better in the loop and to help students set good habits as ingrained from an early age. I do also think a lot of busywork just to say a student did homework is a waste though. I would love a happy medium personally but it’s not my hill to die on. I’m left somewhat facetiously wondering - hey maybe by the time these kids hit HS homework will be a dinosaur too. Maybe even in college haha.[/quote]
