When a teacher reads the literature showing homework in the younger grades doesn’t help kids and may hurt them, she changes course. Join the nafeihsaaz

My kids attend Blessed Sacrament and one of the first things I tell the teachers at the beginning of the school year is that when my kids come home, that is family time – schoolwork is to be done at school. Some things of course I will accept, projects, school plays, etc, that need outside time – but basic reiteration of class-time is not something we are going to do. I have limited time with my boys and that will not be wasted.
