[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all could be alleviated if teachers just stopped giving kids so much homework.[/quote]

[b]Kids are arriving knowing far less than they used to.[/b] A lot of the assigned homework is leftover classwork because we spend 20% of class introducing very basic info that kids used to be taught at home. [/quote]

This is the real issue. American children are mostly receiving a subpar education except for the most affluent. They are consistently outperformed by children from other developed nations. Reading levels have stagnated for years, and in some places dropped. Math scores have dropped. And now parents are asking for no homework…in high school?!

Elementary and many middle schools have already adopted to no homework, but the reality is learning hours have been cut short and teachers struggle to get through standards.

I do think HW assignments should be high quality work where actual learning and real practice is happening. Some teachers in regular level, but even honors classes, assign BS assignments like “write in a journal” “make a flip grid” or “interview a classmate.”

Those are a waste of everyone’s time. [/quote]
