In general, I'm in favor of school systems doing what they can to educate children to the best of their abilities and getting parents involved in their children's education. I'm don't support this idea however:
Quote: Report: Homework Time May Be Mandated
City Considers New Proposal
BOSTON -- Attleboro students may soon be required to set aside a certain amount of homework each night under a new policy being considered by the city's school committee, according to the Sun Chronicle.
Students would be expected to do homework for an average of 10 minutes to 80 minutes per night depending on the child's grade level.
Homework would need to be performed after school hours and could include reading or writing assignments and studying for tests and quizzes among other tasks, the paper reported Wednesday.
The guidelines could be approved at the next school board meeting.
At what point is it acceptable (to you) for the school board to determine what goes on in the home?
(I wonder of the Attleboro Police Dept will be showing up at arrest kids that don't meet the time requirements.
