[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No homework, at least in elementary school, is in line with contemporary education research and best practices.[/quote]

And for most kids that don't need remedial/extra help, HW really is not needed in ES.[/quote]

The fact that grade school kids cannot write (penmanship ), cannot spell or use proper punctuation and sentence structure, do not know their math facts is entirely unrelated.

Really?[/quote]

Those things are, basically, not taught in ES. And I agree it is a huge problem. But has little to do with the need for homework.[/quote]

Kids would do better at these skills with more practice.  Homework is the second half, after being taught the skills. [/quote]

There is nothing to practice if it's not being taught. This is not the best example to make your point. 
And furthermore, then have your kid practice it! That's what we did. It's not hard and it doesn't take long. [/quote]
