I remember homework, and I'm not talking about a little homework I'm talking hours of homework. And reports, book reports that take weeks to get done. My kids homework is one page and only on one side. Scribble a sentence and your done. The Public school sector is a joke. No wonder children cannot do basic studies. ITS THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. EVERY CHILD IS LEFT BEHIND. end the department of education, they are grifters and sellouts.
Scribble a sentence and you're done is not good, but hours of homework every day isn't good, either. Children do need to learn to be able to work independently. But after a full day of school, children also need time to socialize, play, relax, and engage in some extra-curricular activities, maybe sports, Boy Scouts, drawing, or practicing an instrument, etc.
Homework doesn't teach, if the teachers do their jobs well there is no need for homework. First grade only needs an hour of book learning per day, add 15-20 min/day each year thereafter. The rest is day care and indoctrination.
The DoE was programmed just like the original government institutions were- look up the designers of the system, they're Humanists. They openly stated their purpose was to produce compliant workers for the inevitable union with communism. And to this end, schools would replace family and church with state and government. From the beginning.

I remember doing a book report on tetanus when I was in 9th grade.

I read a great article the other day on Epoch Times about the education of John Adams' family. Was very inspirational, if you're interested.
