Brandy Young, a second-grade teacher at the school, passed out a letter to every parent at a “Meet the Teacher Night” ahead of the start of the school year to explain her new homework policy — or should we say, no-homework policy.
A pleased parent posted a photo of the letter on her Facebook page, and it went viral with more than 59,000 shares.
“Brooke is loving her new teacher already!” Samantha Gallagher captioned the picture.
The mother of 7-year-old Brooke was thrilled to know that her daughter won’t be overwhelmed with homework this year.
“There will be no formally assigned homework this year,” Brandy Young explained in the letter. “Rather, I ask you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success. Eat dinner as a family, read together, play outside, and get your child to bed early.”
