Category: Homework The Hun has an article about a school that has cut back its homework demands. In a revolutionary approach, Melbourne's St Michael's Grammar School has dumped rigid homework guidelines and set hours for what it now calls "out-of-class" work.Me, I'd be cutting back altogether but I'm glad this sort of story is being reported. Oh and look at this... Year 3 student Sophie told the Herald Sun she often preferred to do a negotiated out-of-class task rather than watch TV, saying they were "fun".I know a Sophie who is in year 3 at St Michael's. I wonder if it's her. |
