Go ahead. I hope every kid gets an F.
I'm tired of parents using the kids to champion faux causes

Nothing will get you ahead in life like refusing to prepare yourself and doing your work.

Homework for elementary school kids is ridiculous.

22.7% unemployment percent in Spain. God knows what the workforce participation rate is.
Keep it up
Keep it up

This! The homework is designed to enable kids to regurgitate shite on a standardized test, not make them think critically. It's just reinforcement of the same standardized test preparation they hear all day. It does more harm than good in elementary school.

When I was there, it was 50% unemployment for people under 30.
I lived briefly with a guy who had to leave because he couldn't afffordnthe rent. He had a masters in engineering. Knew French, English, Spanish (obviously), and one other I think. He had job offers in Paris and the US but refused to leave the country.
Also, FWIW, in Spain, the parents completely spoil the kids. Taking a summer job and shite is actually disgraceful for teenagers and college kids are expected to live at home till they graduate.
That's why walking through the parks can be x-rated. College kids all live with their parents so they have nowhere to screw so they all go to obscure parts of giant parks

Right. It really hasn't shown to improve academic performance (outside of a grade given for turning it in) for students.

My kid isn't doing 3 or 4 hours every day of homework in middle school like some of these schools want.

6.5 hours of homework a week

Students hate it, parents hate it, and the teachers hate it. It's not been proven effective.
Why keep it?
And when I say homework, I don't mean long term projects like book reports or similar endeavors. I mean those meaningless worksheets you have to fill out.
The only benefit I see is in math, which is rote memory most of the time.
