        is this for real? Education has gone down hill, no wonder Asia & Europe is ahead of us when comes to education.

        Most home work is busywork and does nothing to increase a student's knowledge.

        (1) less work for teacher Brandy (2) who doesn't believe practice makes better (3) more time for e-devices & TV

        Or: time for family, learning responsibility through chores, tutoring on subjects where it's actually needed.

        the list you cited is already being done by responsible parents

        My point is maybe more parents would do those things if they didn't have to deal with homework.

        I have never believed in home work. What if parents had to come home..work until bedtime? It is archaic and outdated. #NoHomeWork

        @birdankle Agree. They already put in a day of work. They need downtime, not 3 more hours of homework.

        homework is awful. 3 kids have a full day of school and then hours of homework to follow. They shutdown and it's always a fight.

        @jamiemcmurray Many of us teachers have not been assigning homework for years for the exact same reasons.
