Homework Ban!

In this class we were asked to read this article: http://tiny.cc/homeworkban it was about kids having too much homework. I can see some kids having a lot to do, but their solution to the problem is to not have anymore. I personally feel that this is not the best way to deal with the problem. To get better at anything you must practice it, yes there are people with natural talent but that can only take you so far. It's much like a sport, the players who have little talent can quickly become better than the naturally talented players by just working harder and with more practice. So I would say don't cut out all the homework, but don't take it as marks. There will be kids that take it all and do it all, and kids who do little to none. You will see how they progress and do on tests as a reflection of how much they do and their natural ability.
