Race to Nowhere Homework Pledge
I’m proud to announce the first campaign in our effort to revolutionize our schools and culture through on-the-ground action. In the months ahead, the EndTheRace.org movement will inspire action on homework, testing, rankings, admissions and other educational practices to create positive and sustainable change for our students. Today, we’re starting with the Homework Pledge: your promise to work toward homework-free weekend and holiday breaks in your school. Take the Homework Pledge and we’ll give you action tools to bring homework-free weekends and holidays to your community:
The research on homework is clear and unanimous. Most homework does not increase learning, raise scores or prepare students for the future. By pledging to work toward homework-free weekend and holiday breaks in your school, you support a cultural shift that values balance, family time, sleep and health for our students. And you join dozens of schools and districts already taking action in the wake of their Race to Nowhere screenings, including:
Ridgewood High School in New Jersey, which has banned homework during both its winter break and February break this year.
Walter Payton High School in Chicago, IL, which has eliminated homework for Thanksgiving, winter and spring break this year with no tests or projects due immediately upon the return from break.
Wellesley Middle School in Wellesley, Mass., which has committed to a no-homework policy on religious holidays and school vacations.
Galloway School District in Galloway, New Jersey, whose superintendent has proposed a ban on assignments on weekends, holidays and school vacations.
Take the Homework Pledge today: http://www.endtherace.org/homework-pledge There is no better time to join the movement of communities revolutionizing our schools and culture. Thank you, Vicki Abeles & the End the Race Campaign Team

Does college begin in kindergarten?
Do you agree with the statement that "college begins in kindergarten?" That is being said a lot ... I think I heard Ken Robinson say that "kindergarten begins in kindergarten." So what do you think? Does college begin in kindergarten?
If you’re a student, teacher, or administrator at a middle school looking into adopting iPads for educational purposes, it’s important to know that the iPad is more than just an easy way to browse the web or visit the app store. There are actually thousands of educational apps hiding in the bowels of the app store.
But how do you find them? Unless you know exactly what you’re looking for, it is usually pretty tough to find the best apps. Heck, once you may come across an app it may prove to not be worth the time it took to download!
So I have this conversation with people:
"We don't understand the OWS movement. They are a bunch of idiots."
Really?
Read this, and then tell me that the system of capitalism that we currently have in place in this country gives EVERYONE a fair chance. The system we have n place tight now favors corporations over individuals. The system we have in place right now favors rich over poor. Why is that a big deal? Because in our Republic, everyone is supposed to be created equal. That is not the case, as this article clearly explains.
