Florida County Bans Homework, Asks Parents To Read With Their Kids Instead
““Students in one Florida county will no longer have to do homework. Instead, parents are being asked to read to their children for at least 20 minutes a night.
Marion County School District Superintendent Heidi Maier issued a "no homework policy" for all 31 elementary schools in the district.

Any parents who feel that they might have trouble fulfilling the reading request can receive additional support from school programs and resources.””
