If your student is coming home with little or no homework, and I have not contacted you, that's great! Most work can be completed in the time allowed in class. There will of course, be some exceptions, ie., studying for tests/quizzes, project work or not focusing on the task and therefore having homework. However there is more and more research challenging the need for mindless homework vs meaningful classroom work.

I have attached an excerpt written by Alfie Cohen on the need for homework. It's an interesting read. The teachers of SD73 went to hear him speak and he rocked our understanding of the role of homework.
