I'd be far more okay with standardized tests if the requirement also banned homework until at least Junior High. Otherwise it's a race to the bottom to see which schools can suck up as much of the children's and families home time to help improve the schools scores.
- cgmg 9y agoHow would you propose that students practice learning and studying on their own, outside of a classroom setting, without homework?
- valuearb 9y agoI don't propose that children do any of that. That's what high school is for, and 4 years of "practice" is more than enough.
- quicklyfrozen 9y agoSome of the reason schools start homework so early is that parents demand it. I've seen parents complain that a first grade class isn't academic enough because the teacher didn't assign enough homework.
