[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all sad to me. Research has shown that homework is not only ineffective in elementary school l, it can actually have a negative impact on learning and attitudes about school. There is no need for be in elementary beyond reading at night a book you chose and perhaps math facts. Seriously. More is not better! I think teachers would be more on board of later a were more on board, and parents would be on board if more teachers were. It is sad what we are doing to kids and families with this homework. It will not help us raise global citizens ready to work with others. There are so many great articles and studies about this. Kids, parents and families deserve better. [/quote] For every "study" showing one outcome there is a study showing another. The current mantra now is not homework. Just like the current mantra is a convoluted manner of teaching math. I don't put a lot of stock in the latest fad. [/quote]
