If you've heard about the no-homework movement that's gaining traction throughout the US, you aren't alone.
The parents involved in the movement agree that the amount of homework their kids have been getting is unreasonable, and school administrators have definitely started taking notice.
One teacher from Texas, for example, decided to implement a strict no-homework policy in her own class, and many schools around the country followed suit.
Advocates believe that excessive amounts of homework, especially at a young age, can hinder kids socially and mentally, as well as cause them to lose out on spending time with family. And the kicker? There's no evidence that saddling young children with homework actually make them perform better when it comes to taking tests.
