[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Starting in 2023-24, they will be offering more advanced options for middle school. (So not accelerated content but going deeper on content.) 2. It was not less rigorous than my elementary, which had a no-homework policy. [b] I'm personally in favor of no homework in elementary. [/b] 3. Middle school is a tough age. Greatness drops off for sure because...puberty. Kids going through puberty on different timetables under one roof. [/quote] As noted by another PP, I think giving some homework in the later grades of elementary is helpful to prepare students for suddenly getting homework in 6 classes in middle school. On the other hand, APS is solving that issue by significantly limiting homework in middle school and subsequently in high school. So, yeah, "greatness" definitely takes a nose-dive and it has nothing to do with puberty.[/quote]
