Believe it or not, that has not been the case in many MCPS elementary schools for the past 4 years.
Which ES didn't have HW for the past 4 years?
"Mandatory" HW has not been a thing in MCPS for the past 4 years. I just had a kid graduate from elementary school and from 3rd-5th grade, she had "optional" homework that she could do but wasn't required to do.
That doesn't answer the question. Which ES did not have HW for the last 4 years?
Whether it was optional or mandatory, it's still HW.
The question was silly because the title of this thread is about “mandatory HW” which is what I was referencing when I said MCPS had done away with this for the past four years.
Optional HW, is not really helpful because if you give kids the option to not do HW, they won’t do it.

My 3rd grader has had about 10-20 minutes of homework assigned each night. It's not a burden, and despite what the "evidence" might show--I find it hard to believe that it's not good for them to get reading and math practice at home.
