A different question about homework (or lack thereof)

We have another homework question!

Question: Why is there so little homework and will the lack of it leave my child at a disadvantage when he/she goes to middle school?

Margaret's reply is below:

A: We hope that with the extra time spent on core subjects and enrichment programs our students will be better prepared for middle school than ever before. Our current thinking was to reduce the amount of homework given as the children adjust to the new schedule. We will look for parent feedback in terms of how students are managing and will adjust for individual students or grade levels as necessary as the year progresses. Teachers will also address this issue at Curriculum Night on September 25th.
