Do kids not have homework anymore? I thought I heard stuff like this over the years.

I remember reading comprehension assignments as early as like third or fourth grade.

in HS no, some students refuse to do them anymore so the TEACHERS give up, even the tough ones. this was back early 2000s, so its been ongoing for 20+years,.

A lot of teachers don't assign students homework. Why would they, when students don't even do the work assigned to them during class?

i can corroborate that, in 2000s one math teacher i overhead said they dont give hw to students, because nobody does them.
