Sara Bennett, author of
The Case Against Homework, is an advocate for 'no homework.' Yesterday, Bennett posted a Wyoming elementary school principal's letter, which addresses this issue. The letter announces the school's plan to eliminate homework. The principal's message also outlines five ways to improve students' attitudes, as well as, their mental and physical health. These suggestions include encouraging children to play outside for an hour every day after school and eating supper together as a family at least four times a week. Read the full story
here and comment below. Do you think homework should be eliminated from elementary schools? What do think about the principal's five point list?
Great post Rox - thanks. Love the five suggestions that the principal put in the letter. Its nice to have positive suggestions included.
