[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The principal said that kids needed more time to play outside and should be able to get all the practice they need at school. [b]Reality check for our neighborhood, most families have two parents who work. [/b]That means there aren't neighbor children to have over for playdates after school. I personally think the principal made the change when parents started using homework as an example of what was wrong with the curriculum. The homework clued parents in that standards had been lowered. When parents complained using the only examples coming home, the homework, then poof - the homework stopped. This principal no longer works in MCPS by the way.[/quote] All the more reason, no? Aftercare, then going home, then homework? Especially when the available research evidently shows that there is no academic benefit to homework in elementary school.[/quote]
