Apparently François Hollande wants to ban homework in public schools in France, saying that schoolwork should be done at school, and that having work done at home puts disadvantaged kids who get no help or supervision from their parents behind the curve.
They also apparently do a 4 day school week 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
What do you all think? Is it a good idea to be pushing schoolwork into school hours rather than having kids bring their work home with them?
