        After spending 8 hrs. in the classroom-last thing kids need to do is workwork. This should be implemented in all schools-across the nation.

        Not all students need homework. It should be left to teacher-discretion. Good teachers know their students' weaknesses. CNH

        Daily reading is great but there should be daily remediation of math, too.

        Are you serious? In my generation we had homework, a dictionary and no auto-correct. We survived and thrived!

        Yikes. I honestly feel bad for the kids when they hit college, that will be a horrible time for a lot of them.

        Article says it applies 2 elementary schools. Did not mention secondary schools. Imagine they will have time 2 build study habits b4 college

        You'd hope. But, it is important to establish good study habits at a young age. I'm not saying you need hours of hwork

        Could you not develop good study habits with required reading?

        Yes and no. Reading will not give you all the skills you need to survive in college. I'm not knocking reading.

        I would argue that an 8 yr old needs 2 b "preparing for college". Time management is a study habit that can be built w/ 20min of rdg a night

        Whatever works for you. Just saying that it's important for good habits to be established early on. That's it. 🙄
