School Leaders in Wake County, North Carolina, Encourage Teachers to Stop Penalizing Students for Not Doing Homework

According to an article from the Raleigh News and Observer, more and more teachers are beginning to question the value of homework. In Wake County, North Carolina, school leaders are encouraging teachers to stop giving zeros for late or missed homework assignments. And a middle school in Raleigh, East Millbrook Middle School, no longer counts homework as part of the academic grade.

  1. I was wondering if there is any school in the area that does not assign homework. I think our children do enough at school while they are there. Our family has no time to share when they come home and this puts too much pressure on our family. Please let me know.

  2. We are in Rowan County. I am wanting to find a school that doesn’t require homework. We get home at 6pm most nights. After dinner and baths and homework, we have no family time at all and I definitely have NO time for me. Required homework puts to much pressure and single parents. And why do kids have to come home and do school work after being at school all day? I don’t want to come home and work after being at work all. It just makes no logical sense to me. Please let me know of any schools not requiring homework.
