New Homework Bill Aims to Reduce 'Busy Work'
Season 2024
Episode 16
A bill advancing in the California state legislature aims to bridge equity gaps among students -- by reducing the major stress and mental health impacts associated with homework. While not a "homework ban" per se, it does attempt to change how work to be done outside of the classroom is assigned. Lynn La reports for CalMatters.
