This is a necessary step. Homework is largely ineffective at accomplishing any of the things it’s claimed to. It does not improve academic performance a majority of the time.

It does, however, condition children to expect to work more than 40 hours a week, so I expect it won’t go away without a fight.

My son was robbed of being named Big Bird.

I did this about two years ago and every door in my house is still completely silent, absolute game changer for not waking up my kid in the middle of the night.
