Research studying the correlation between homework and academic achievement consistently reveals a surprising fact: Most homework doesn't increase learning, raise test scores, or prepare students for academic success.

On the contrary, homework often emphasizes performance at the cost of sleep, friendship, family time, play, physical activity, and health. And it contributes to an epidemic of sedentary and anxious young Americans ill-prepared for the 21st century.

By pledging to work toward homework-free weekends and holiday breaks in your school, you support a cultural shift that values balance, family time, sleep, and health for our students.
