[quote=Anonymous]Homework is already "graded for completion" rather than for content in ES, so this doesn't feel like a huge shift. However, I think this is the wrong direction. The MCPS approach seems to be that homework is too hard for some kids to complete if their parents are not English speakers, or if there are generational trauma issues. So, instead of working with families and re-emphasizing the importance of education, MCPS just "drops the rope." Contrast this with DCPS and PGCPS, both of which also have issues of English language learners and generational poverty. Those districts double down on homework, and radically scale up parental engagement, rather than just throwing up their hands and deciding it is too hard. [/quote]
