He had looked up research on homework effectiveness and learned that, generally, homework in elementary school isn’t linked to better academic performance — except for after-school reading.So at that meeting with teachers, he proposed an experiment: stopping all homework in every grade and asking students to read on their own at home — or, if they were not ready to read on their own, to do it with a parent or guardian. He said he was surprised when every one of them — classroom teachers as well as those who work with special-education students and English-language learners — signed on to the idea.“All 40 voted yes,” he said, “and not just yes, but a passionate yes. When do you get 40 people to agree on something?”So they instituted the policy, as this page on the school website shows (https://www.sbschools.net/domain/311):No Homework PolicyOrchard School Homework InformationStudent’s Daily Home Assignment1. Read just-right books every night —(and have your parents read to you too).2. Get outside and play —that does not mean more screen time.3. Eat dinner with your family —and help out with setting and cleaning up.4. Get a good night’s sleep.What’s the result?Six months into the experiment, Trifilio says it has been a big success: Students have not fallen back academically and may be doing better, and now they have “time to be creative thinkers at home and follow their passions.”968重庆之声每周一至周五8点56分每天三分钟养成良好英语听说习惯
