One Florida School District Is Banning Homework For Elementary Kids

CHARLOTTE, NC — The Marion County, Florida school district’s new superintendent has banned homework for elementary kids.

Heidi Maier says the decision is based on “solid research” on the best ways to help kids perform well academically. The kids will instead be asked to read for 20 minutes a night.

While Maier says most parents and teachers are applauding the decision, the EDGE panel is weighing in and getting your thoughts on the idea.
