Very interesting. What are everyone's thoughts on this ? I've always thought homework sucked, and rarely did it. My grades definitely suffered for it. Although, this doesn't seem to be beneficial to the children once they hit the workforce. It doesn't seem to make them accountable.
Proponents of the approach, including paid consultants, say it benefits students with after-school responsibilities, such as a job or caring for siblings, as well as those with learning disabilities. Traditional grading methods, they say, favor those with a stable home life and more hands-on parents.

[sigh} so the experts have finally figured out that having parents that care is a positive to learning, and those without will suffer, and that kids with learning disabilities will not perform as well as the kids without them.
So let's just give them all A Plus and not bother to teach them anything.

Heard this argument for many years but personally, sooner or later, one has to learn to do it and it might help to have a developed mind for it. Because if one has never done it and they get someplace where they will have to do it, someone is going to end up toast.......be it them or just the world over all because we accept their laziness.
When these kids are at the age where they are in the working world, God help us all. Imagine society filling jobs with educational backgrounds like this. From dentist & doctors to building architects & airline pilots. Total disasters from human errors.
