In a previous article I talked about homework stress.

Here is another article which tells the story of a Calgary family that signed a no homework agreement with the Calgary School Board.

Here is a quote from the article linked below, "Tom Milley was frustrated by the amount of homework given to his children.
A Calgary family caught between busy careers, hectic school schedules and extracurricular activities has sought relief by signing a contract with their school to ban homework."

For those who are not lawyers, here is a good balanced article from Anna-Liza Kozma, a writer with the CBC.
A quote, "Childhood passes quickly. And so do sunny days.
That means, in our house, sunshine trumps homework pretty much every time."

Here is the link to Negotiating an end to the homework debate.

Good teaching...Good listening...
