Electoral Map Game

I am interested in parental and guardian feedback. This year, I have greatly reduced homework assignments in Language Arts and SS. This is due to a trend in education which suggests less homework reduces student stress and places more emphasis on home and family time.
As a parent/guardian, do you believe this has been beneficial? Do you believe more homework should be assigned for review purposes?
I will give your child a ticket for my classroom drawing if you take the time to email me your opinion.
Thanks,
Mr. Walsh
