The Joy of No Homework


Try telling a roomful of fifth graders that we're having a "no homework" week. They just have to read every night for at least 30 minutes (hey, that's not homework) You'd think I gave them a million dollars instead of a break from math and spelling.

A week of reading might as well be a million dollars. I would love that! Lucky kids!

Aaah. Those were the days. Although even now saying that the only thing I have to do every night is read for 30 minutes would be a huge gift.
