What's the ideal size for high school?

Poll: Should kids get homework over the holiday break?

Winter Recess begins December 24th. Some students will head home with a bookbag full of holiday homework, while others will have a lighter load.

In this week's poll, we'd like to know how you feel about teachers assigning homework over the holiday break. Is it important to keep the momentum of the learning process moving during that downtime?  Or, do kids deserve a break?

Vote now to let us know how you feel about holiday homework.  Kids are welcome to vote too!

You’ll find this week’s poll near the upper left hand side of this page, and you can share your comments here.
