Sheila Says: A Teacher That Doesn’t Give Homework!

A teacher that remains anonymous has stopped assigning homework. In a note to parents the teacher penned, “Dear Parents. After much research this summer, I am trying something new. Homework will only consist of work that your student did not finish during the school day. There will be no formally assigned homework this year. Research has been unable to prove that homework improves student performance. Rather, I ask that you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success. Eating dinner as a family, read together, play outside, and get your child to bed early.” I guess every student will be asking to be in that teacher’s class!
