 "The fun of school children, now leave the tension of homework, the new law has become, read the details")
Schools are under a lot of pressure on children these days. Firstly their bag is heavy, secondly, they have extra homework pressure. In such a situation, children are often under stress. But now the homework burden of children will be less. Yes, a big step has been taken in this regard in America. In fact, a new law was implemented in the US state of California on Wednesday to reduce the mental stress of homework on students. The purpose of this law is to reduce the homework burden of students.
In California, this law goes into effect on January 1, 2025. It was approved by Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2024. The main objective of this law is to promote the education and welfare of students and to ensure consistency and clarity in homework. The bill was introduced by California Provincial Assembly member Pilar Schiavo. She believed that students, like her daughter Sophia Johnson, often felt stressed by heavy homework.
The purpose of this legislation is to improve educational equity and the effectiveness of homework. However, this law does not ban homework. Instead, it places responsibility on local educational agencies (LEAs) to create and regularly update homework policies for each grade level. To that end, the California Department of Education will issue guidelines by January 1, 2026, so that school districts can have a centralized resource.
However, some concerns about this have started to grow in the US as well. Some teachers and parents are concerned that reducing homework requirements could affect academic standards. However, its supporters say that the purpose of this law is not to eliminate homework altogether, but to make it more helpful and in line with the welfare of students.
