[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be a no penalty opt-out for homework in elementary school, if a child is performing at or above grade level. In that way all families have a say. [/quote] That would not work at all - making homework optional for some but not all. The majority just would not do it, especially the ones that do need it.[/quote] When I was a kid, you needed to do math homework between quizzes if you'd scored below a certain score on the previous one; optional if you hadn't. It provided both a good incentive to study for quizzes and ensured that kids who needed more practice got it. I'm sure it would never fly in DC, but it absolutely makes sense as a concept.[/quote]
