I require my students to read 15 minutes a night and record a title, author, and short summary (we are talking maybe three lines) and then get a parent signature. They also have one reading assignment that they receive on Monday and is due on Friday so they can decide how to break it down due to family committments. I have had many parents complain over the lacking of homework and others thankful for the break. I just feel that just as we don't want to put in a full day and go home to work a couple hours more, why should a kid. I think it is sad that our kids do not have time to just be kids any more! I think I'm going to write more on this from a teacher's view and will be sure to link here too. As a teacher I feel the same way.
