    Text - Bunmi Laditan 25 April at 15:18 My kid is done with homework. I just sent an email to her school letting her know she's all done.

    Text - Jamie Ellam Davis AMEN!!! Our school has a no homework policy (unless necessary for remedial work). I feel blessed every time I hear the horror stories. You're doing the right thing. Like Reply 94 April 25 at 6:22pm
