> An elementary school in Gaithersburg, Md., has banned homework altogether in favor of 30 minutes of nightly reading. Is this reading that's supposed to go on at home? I'm now confused as to how the article is trying to define homework. But yeah, when I was in school there'd be 8 hours at school, then 3 hours of homework. And the homework was all busy work and the time spent in school was mostly pointless as well. School probably killed my innate desire to learn more than anything else in my life. It took me a while after I graduated enjoy it again.
