No Homework for Elementary Students

Ban homework for Putnam Valley elementary school students. Make time to read and play after school.

Why is this important?

Research indicates that homework does not benefit students as much as believed. What does benefit students is reading at least 20 minutes each evening with family members. Free up our children to move their bodies, be with friends and family, and rest their minds after school.
