Teachers in British Columbia, Canada, Seek Ban on Homework Until Grade 4
According to an article in The Province, the president of the British Columbia Teachers Federation says that school kids should not be given any homework until Grade 4 at the earliest. “I’m not in favour of abolishing homework, but I do think we need to consider very carefully the age of children,” she said. “Certainly in the primary years [kindergarten to Grade 3] we shouldn’t be having kids have homework.”
Wow! I’m a BC parent, and I’m thrilled by this quote. Will have to send the link to my elementary school principal.
