[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, which schools have that policy? I don't think most of the dc privates have gotten the message. They are more concerned with pleasing the go, go success at any cost parents that seem prevalent here in dc.[/quote] NCS's Head of School has been trying to implement this policy for 3 years now. This is one of her major platforms with mixed results. Apparently, it has been far easier to scale back the homework in the Lower School & Middle School than the High School. [/quote] Trying to implement an optional homework policy in the high school? I'm not clear how that would work. I can see making some language homework optional, but making reading the book for English optional? Making the history research paper optional? [/quote]
