The liberal's of the MSM now want to do away with kid's homework!
Exerpt: "...the argument that homework is a net benefit for most kids has abig weakness."
As if anyone doubted the liberals that write this stuff, they show their own colors in the article here: "...my idea of a childhood afternoon well-spent is idealized and elitist."
If we held this notion in the '30s, does anybody believe we wouldn't all be speaking Japenese now?!
UPDATE: Found buried near the bottom of the article, there's this: "...maybe it's time to move to Japan." Let's hope this feminazi follows her dream there and takes Hillary and Al Gore with her!!

I spent many a lazy afternoon as a kid, and I feel I'm better for it. Sure, we had a worksheet or two to complete, or a book to read. Nothing terribly stressful, and a good way to get parents involved with their kids' education. I have nothing wrong with that. However, having two hours of homework per night (even in Kindergarten, believe it or not) is absolutely not good for kids.
Maybe if we were more concerned with education and less concerned with "teaching to the test" we woudn't be in this boat. Thank GWB and his minions for that.
