Equity in education! Not all parents want to or have the time to sit with their child to facilitate homework completion.  So, no is required to do homework. [/quote]

I fail to see how this will lead to more equitable outcomes. Rather it's a race to the bottom.[/quote]

Well, for one, it penalizes kids that lack home support. It penalizes children with disabilities like ADHD. And it doesn't really do anything. If the child can do the problems without support, they likely don't need the practice, and if they can't do the problems, they likely need instructional support that won't be provided at home. It cannot be assessed in any meaningful way because the teacher does not know the conditions it was done under. Homework has always been makework bullshit. [/quote]

Im curious what kind of independent study skills and time management skills these kids have once they reach college. [/quote]
