Could the End of Homework Be on the Horizon?

If the homework ban does become the norm rather than the exception, what does this mean for teachers?

Apart from having to coordinate with each other to ensure they don’t exceed allotted homework time, how will educators change the way they design classroom time?

Too much homework is busy work. Teachers need to reevaluate what homework they assign and why it is necessary. I got a “parent’s eye” view of homework as my kids went through school, and it forced me to reevaluate my position on how and why I assign homework to my students.
