Homework

A school district in Vermont is promising no homework for its elementary students.  The idea is to let kids have more time to do the things kids do, play sports, video games, etc.  Do you think this is going to make a higher quality, better prepared student for high school and college...

First I'd like to tip my hat to the parents whose kids get good grades because they study hard and who do their chores when asked. Unfortunately not all kids are that well behaved. Some pay their parents lip service to doing homework, cleaning their rooms etc. then logon to YouTube or text with their friends. Meanwhile others are openly defiant.
