However, if schools assign less homework, it would benefit teachers, parents, and students alike. Teachers who assign large amounts of homework are often unable to do more than spotcheck answers. This means that many errors are missed. Teachers who assign less homework, however, will be able to check these mistakes thoroughly. In addition, it allows a teacher time to focus on more important things. A student who is assigned less homework will live a healthy and happy life. The family can look forward to stressfree, carefree nights.
Some schools are already taking steps to improve the issue. For example, JohnsonMike Elementary School and MasonRice Elementary School in Newton, Massachusetts, have limited homework, keeping to the “10minute rule”. Raymond Park Middle School in Indianapolis has written a policy instructing teachers to “assign homework only when you feel the assignment is valuable”. Others, such as Oak Knoll Elementary School in Menlo Park, California, have eliminated homework altogether. If these schools can do it, why can't everyone?
So, my fellow Americans, it's time to stop the insanity. It's time to start a homework revolution.
