R.I.P Homework...

I care what this article actually says. I'm interpreting it as homework is a relic of an educational past. I'll be keeping an eye out for schools with a similar philosophy when my future kids (if they exist) are ready to be placed in school.

Any parents out there? What do you think?

Kevin - students still need homework but they also need an environment that doesn't jive on the other factors cited in the article - the resume building, over-achieving spirit that leaves little time for day dreaming and building a rich inner life. However, many times the parents are at fault. You have to choose what values you want your child to have. If a kid is really motivated, they are going to do all the work no matter what.
