[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a child in FFX but my coworker just claimed that kids are "not allowed to be given homework in FFX county as a matter of district policy because it negatively disadvantages minority kids." I find that highly improbable, [b]but I would love to know. He gets on my nerves for a host of other reasons, so I'd really like to prove him wrong[/b]. [/quote] Surprise OP: He was mostly right. I understand you were desperate “prove him wrong.” But it does appear to be an FCPS policy to discourage (though not strictly a uniform ban) homework, while simultaneously making homework no longer graded or part of the grade. It also appears to have been driven by FCPS’ commitment to racial equity.[/quote]
