French president pushing homework ban as part of ed reforms
So, how does this make disadvantaged kids do better? You know, how does making non-disadvantaged kids do worse, make disadvantaged kids do better?

But hey, if Frace wants to get rid of homework maybe that will help us move up a few spots in the rankings of industrialized countries .
Thank you! I love message boards and love debates... so expect to see a lot of me around hereChris wrote:O/T:

Haha, sorry I just needed to change the stock avatar and I LOVE Stitch. I will change it soon, I have lots from my Livejournal. I might change it to Meeko the raccoon (it's my nickname) or something to represent my daughter. We shall see, but I don't want to step on the toes (or keyboard) of a regular on the board with the avatarSupernova wrote:

No need to change your pic if you don't want to. Supernova, you've had it long enough...pick something else.
I think we can deal with twins.
