[quote=Anonymous]http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/19477877/gaithersburg-elementary-school-abolishes-homework?obref=obinsite GAITHERSBURG, Md. - Gaithersburg Elementary School has abolished homework. Instead, students are being asked to read a book for about 30 minutes a night. When Stephanie Brant came aboard as principal two years ago, she and her staff conducted a review of homework assignments. "We really started evaluating the work that we sent students home with," explained Principal Brant. "We started looking, and really, it was a lot of worksheets. And the worksheets didn't match what we were doing instructionally in the classroom. It was just: we were giving students something because we felt we had to give them something." So, Brant got permission from the school district to implement a radical experiment: the only homework assigned here is reading. [/quote]
