Homework has always been a part of our education system, with the intention of reinforcing the

lessons learned in class. However, for many students, it can be a source of stress and anxiety. The
pressure to complete assignments on time and the fear of not getting good grades can take a toll on
one's mental and emotional well-being.

As a result, the \"no homework\" movement has gained popularity in recent years. The idea is to give
students a break from the constant workload and allow them to focus on other aspects of their lives.
While this may seem like a dream come true for many students, it's not a feasible solution in the long
run.

Without homework, students may miss out on valuable practice and reinforcement of concepts
learned in class. It also prepares them for the real world, where deadlines and responsibilities are a
part of everyday life. However, we understand that sometimes, completing homework can be a

bring their work home and felt that their child should not have to, either. Needless to say, my wife
and I pulled our sons out of Pre-K halfway through the school year (it was optional anyhow). Most
of the time the homework requirements are not up to the teacher, but a higher level of authority. I
wasn't given any homework until the fourth grade, I believe. I was making a deep connection

rules for teachers and require them to assign a certain amount of HW. Your puzzles get saved into
your account for easy access and printing in the future, so you don’t need to worry about saving

devices. Since when do the schools have a say in how my children spend the summer. Posted to

Guidon does not allow anonymous comments, and The Guidon requires a valid email address. I do
believe however, that in certain cases the homework needs to be lessened and in other cases the
homework ought to be more conducive to the lesson at hand. Not to mentioned it was brought up in
front of my child. I am finding that more and more school work is being off loaded in the guise of
homework and less is being taught during school hours. Once we got back to the classroom we had

Germany. As for teachers. I appreciate the strain you're under. They had chores, yes, but they were
also allowed to be kids, and they never forgot that. He's not going to have any more time with the

HomeSchooling Our Public Schools Are Not The Best. I am a senate candidate for an Australian
Political party. Third grade home work has parents talk about behaviors and learning how to interact
with other kids, once a week. I think the point that many teachers and parents miss here is that the
parent is supposed to be in control of the house, not the teacher, school, or government. We will
continue to look at this story tomorrow and the students will begin working on a project about this
story. The teacher was adamant that he just write anything in there--what tie the teacher was
wearing---what funny joke someone said, and I was supposed to sign it each night. If a child didn't

a parent, I too balked at the amount of meaningless homework brought home by my children, but
they were able to do what was needed to be done and still have time for those other activities that
they enjoyed. I finally decided it was not worth our relationship to try to get him to read and quit.

those who face academic focus in early years (preK-3rd grade especailly). I don't think whether a

My oldest is in college on a full mathematics scholarship. There is plenty of time to turn them into
rule obeying worker drones during their over-exam taking teenage years. We have a 5th grader who
brings home no homework because she completes it during her free time at school. Perhaps you'd like
the teacher to explain that homework and studying become important in high school so you don't feel
undermined. To break up the fight, he has to get the campus police involved to help. Actually, there
was one thing that drove me more crazy - when there was homework assigned that was a to be done

Mythology Unit by looking at what exactly a hero is and the different traits that are typically
associated with Heroes. I also agree with some of the comments above that you are walking a fine
line of teaching your children that rules don't apply to them. Parents need to speak up via their vote
to tell politicians that NCLB is in fact leaving many child behind and is not the answer. If only they
were complaining that they would rather stay home and read a book. Please respect each persons
preference and have some grace. It is awesome for kids to have parents who are so involved in their
childrens' lives. I wish I had approached my own kids' teachers about this issue when they were in
school. See if you can find some like-minded souls in your local area. I am not a teacher, but have
friends who are and your action is crazy. The story takes MAYBE five minutes for my slowest
readers. Instead of ELA this morning, we were very fortunate to have Mr. Meyers (who is the
Catholic Education Services Coordinator for Regina Catholic Schools) stop by and teach us about
how important we are in God's Eyes. If you really want to make an impact, you should be directing
your concerns to the school board, the administration, the Department of Education, The President,
etc. If you want to implement a no-homework rule, then fight through the school board, not over
your kids backs. My facebook page is Heather Shumaker Writer and it's posted there, too. Thanks.
She believed that learning starts at childbirth and continues on to adulthood. It is a fine line to walk
between encouraging students to get their homework done and maintaining a relationship with the
child. We home school and are usually done with our assignments by soon after lunch. Really, you
don't want homework because it interferes with your plan for the evening. I am so exhausted with
homework that even I begin to see double by time we get to spelling. I just want to make the most of
our time together in class, in school, to give them as much support in that effort as I can. I feel like
we already have no time in the evenings. At 10:53 we spent some time viewing each of the fairytale
trailers that the students made this week.
We will continue to look at this story tomorrow and the students will begin working on a project
about this story. I will tell you as a full time working parent - I do NOT like home work even a little
bit. She still aced all of her subjects without the massive homework drain on her time. If you think
she has a decent grasp of the material that's what's most important. Thank you for proving there are
great parents out there doing what is best for THEIR kids. I find it interesting that in early education
(before formal 5 days a week schooling) the emphasise is fully on the child learning through play,
however when they turn 5 and attend school, they all of a sudden are supposed to not learn that
way. NOW, what I think should happen is that homework should be focused on reading, writing and
math only, and that is should be limited to 10 questions each twice a week. My guess is her children
are probably not behind in school and are average to above average learners. Listening to a number
in English and writing it in French. (ex. What is the number 40 in French?) At 1:23 we had Religion
and the students continued to work on their Faith Formation Blog Posts. My most trusted advisor,
knowing my preference for out-of-the-box tactics and knowing the culture in my new building
reminded me to “keep your head down” in year one. Teachers also have some leeway despite
whatever culture has been established. Religion: Creation Story Assignments are due on Wednesday,
October 22rd. (Note: the due date was changed from the 22nd to the 23rd) Reminders: CAT testing

begins. College classes were enjoyable.homework got done. Many children lack the family
interaction and proper rest which are so necessary for successful learning. I don't want them sitting at
a table reciting like little robots. How students keep busy outside of school ( or if they're busy at all )
is none of the teacher's business. I feel that not having homework at that age made me more
independent. We've practically eliminated recess in most elementaries, we've eliminated some
specials time, while they are adding and adding more and more content and literacy standards, to be
accomplished earlier and earlier. This morning we started out our day with the usual AR period from
9:08 to 9:38. Giving the student respect and responsibility, giving them charge of their own
education gave the kids an opportunity to grow. I'm in the West Valley and after moving here from
Seattle and seeing how horrible the schools are here generally speaking, we opted to homeschool and
would never go back now. Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest. No matter how
many emails or phone calls home, no matter how many trips to the office, the students still don't care.
Yet school teachers still give lots of things to do at home and are surprised to see those young
children tired at school and even tired of school. The contract was not a school policy, but something
that the teacher came up with herself. My great great grandfather was a famous writer and editor
back when school was barely a thing. These girls were WELL overwhelmed by schoolwork and
needed to NOT be doing more of the same at home. Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to

Opportunities for independent study, such as homework, are an important part of extended learning.
As for your hot topic, I feel our children earn the opportunity to enjoy afternoons and evenings after
a long day of learning. I learned this from a colleague who did a teacher exchange one year. As a
child I spent my time outside riding my bike, climbing trees and playing pretend. The idea behind
refusing homework was to give every child the same chance. You would be surprised how many
parents actually WANT their children to have homework. This year is an experiment and they have
practically no homework, except for an occasional project that comes with the TAG classes. She
laments that the after-school hours are so very short, so that time should be reserved for family
bonding, chores, and the all-important time for the child to dig into the things that most interest him.
Homework for a kindergartner is too much, especially in a household where both adults have to
work. I just want to make the most of our time together in class, in school, to give them as much
support in that effort as I can. Most homework is just checked in and sometimes not even that. The
teacher doesn't want to hear your ideas about homework. Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share
to Pinterest. You will gain immediate respect for showing your expertise in proper communication.
Do the research. Not one study has shown that homework does any good in grade school and to the
contrary has shown ill effects. You have to remember to write down the time you started, the time
you finished, the page numbers. Ug. If it were just a check box next to 'yes, reading happened' then
it wouldn't be so bad. 4: Kids NEED unstructured time. Is the good I’m deriving worth the cost I’m
paying?”. More rigorous standards, or just raising achievement standards on standardized tests, is not
the answer to a more fulfilling and meaningful education. Teachers are very rarely to blame, but the
schools are broken (most of them anyway). Not to mentioned it was brought up in front of my child.
After wrestling with this issue for a few months, I have decided I am going to compose my own
letter on my son's behalf. I don't think I am smart enough to do this but what about. We get home
between 5:30 and 6 each night, have dinner, clean up, help with the little one's homework then he
takes a bath and what do you know.it's 8:30 and time for him to go to bed. We finish around 7:30
that is just enough time for them to shower and hit the bed. I think it's great if you are happy with
your choice, but making it a movement of standard practice isn't beneficial to all the kids. Last week
my son submitted an incomplete assignment although he had worked on it for 50 minutes. The little
bit of homework time after school may be the only positive learning experience they get in the 18
hours they are NOT in the classroom. Such an important point to remember children who are
vulnerable in their homes. It seems a simple enough thing, how does acknowledging what is already
occurring detrimental to your child. If they take a bench mark test those whom did good get to eat an
ice cream sunday in class in front of those whose grade was not impressive. I don't know about you,
but I had homework when I was in elementary school and I know my parents did not complain about
the homework being sent home.
I would love to hear your thoughts, Heather, on how your letter can help. I know teachers have to
make lesson plans on their own time, but that's teachers' work, not students'. They already have you
convinced that magically at age 12 children would somehow benefit from having one to five more
hours of sedentary mind control thrust upon them after school. Listening to a number in English and
writing it in French. (ex. What is the number 40 in French?) At 1:23 we had Religion and the students
continued to work on their Faith Formation Blog Posts. I don't think I am smart enough to do this
but what about. And there are learning opportunities in every aspect of life. If you know you have
dance class one night or a soccer game or going away for the weekend -you can plan your week
accordingly. The 2nd grader certainly doesn't have 20 minutes of homework. I just posted a link on
my FB page and am curious what the response will be. Thanks. Homework is not some magical cure
all for parental disengagement. School was not meant to be an exam-taking machine or a vessel for
rote memorization. It is very damaging to keep someone back to be one year older then all the
others, home schooling would be a better option so he will not suffer that being a year older for the
next 12 years. Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest. We learned about math in the
daily world and had to find something where math was used. Parents then use their family time to
teach many other life lessons and skills and to set their own priorities. We are out here! More parents
are catching on each day. I am still kind of in shock and seriously considering home school. The
Value of Homework Homework is set by teachers to further cement concepts or skills recently
touched upon or introduced in the classroom. Some students, for example, take tests in separate
rooms. Keep your focus on her and what's truly best for her, and use grades only as a signal, not the
goal. I do my best to give the students time in class to do their work, and whatever is not finished in
class becomes homework (yet some still don't do it). I sit at the table and help each of them with
problems they can not get, studying, and thoughts on a 300 word essay that my 4th grader has to
write. They get spelling words and maybe a short reading assignment or something but never more
than 15 or 20 minutes worth for the week. Insane!!! Both my children are high performers, and this
is simply not necessary. Homework provides a window into what the child is learning and you have
the opportunity to see how they grasp the subject and whether or not they need additional support. A
perfect example of this is the last week of school -because exams are over the children are sitting
around in classrooms watching movies and writing about The Big Bang Theory and writing songs
about rocks. He knew what I was trying to do by letting students blow off some steam. Really
consider it. I homeschool my 1st and 3rd grade sons and it isn't as hard as you would think. As for
teachers. I appreciate the strain you're under. I have always supported the public school until last
year. However, first thing this morning the students begged me to give them the weekend to finish
their books and because I'm such a nice person, I agreed.
