I support small groups as well! Checking in with our kids to even listen to their thoughts/worries/concerns can go a long way.

Education and learning means it's time to stop requiring so many weekly activities that must be documented...AR/Achieve/Go Math!/etc.  If you're a parent, assign as much weekly HW that you're willing to have your child do, taking into consideration the value of after school activities.  If you're not a parent yet, how much HW would you like your child to have?  On the flip side, we also need to remember that these kids will go into middle school and high school with an overwhelming amount of expected HW.  How do we balance?

Education and learning should have room for student choice. If students have more of a say in their education and are learning about what's valuable to them, they'll be more engaged, put in more effort, and get more personal growth from their experience.  I believe students start disliking school because they're told what a meaningful education looks like.  This perspective ignores the unique talents of each child and quashes creativity.  Education should be about celebrating those that think outside the box.

Interest-driven instruction is where we need to head as an educational system. Students will be more invested and show greater understanding of content if they are given say in what they learn. Grades on tests don't necessarily predict how a child will function in life. Our focus should be on providing equity and equality to all students.

could time management be taught at school?  Are young kids capable of that skill, espcially considering the outside distractions that occur at home.

I believe education is a lifelong practice and that the "schooling" that's done in the classroom is meant to be extended to their lives outside of it.  School is not a place where students are "fed" "useless facts," but a place where they are exposed to knowledge and skills they may not have otherwise been exposed to.  How could someone at 9 know she wants to be major in oceanography if she hadn't first read and analyzed an article about marine life in class?  School needs to be a place that fosters curiosity and grit, not a place to drill information for a test.

On the other hand, a minimal amount of homework supports skills learned in class, allows parents to see what is being learned in class and whether or not their child understands it, and begins to teach children time management.

No homework other than nightly reading  of a book the student gets to select, not based on a "dot/star" level.

I agree that homework is not effective at this elementary school age.  We would serve them better to instill inquiry and time to explore what interests them.

We can meet the needs of students more successfully by using small groups throughout the day for every academic level, not just the struggling kids.  Kids love to meet in small reading groups and teachers can pinpoint specific skills to work on.

Totally agree with limiting homework! Our kids work so hard during the day. They need to be kids and not be bombarded with copious amount of homework.

Elementary education should be based on giving our students a love of learning, not testing and worksheets.

Students that have choice in their learning are more motivated and will be more excited about their education.  Are we limiting and frustrating our students with the current programs we have in place?

Students deserve to work hard at school during the day but should be able to go home and also spend quality time with their families not worried about finishing homework that they can't do by themselves.
