A teacher in Fort Worth has gone viral after she sent home a note to parents outlining her new homework policy for the year.
In the note, Mrs. Brandy Young says, "After much research this summer, I am trying something new. Homework will only consist of work that your student did not finish during the school day. There will be no formally assigned homework this year."

Whatever amount of homework that has been assigned in the last 20 years obviously has not produced superior students or even adults with a rudimentary knowledge of the real world(see Jesse Watters,safe zones, and other liberal stupidity by Millenials for further enlightenment).
I would rather see students stay after school for additional attention than for homework.
Kids need to be kids.
