This is good, schools are forgetting kids have life outside of academics and we don’t need to spend 4 hours of our day on school outside when we already spend 7 hours inside it for 5 days straight

My kids have significantly less homework than I had when in school. Maybe take away some of the screens, phones, and electronics and they'd have more time for homework to where its not a 'burden'
It would suck if we had some reassurance that they actually learned something after a day spent in school.
I mean, homework clearly wasn’t effective for all of the generations prior to the Millennials 
None of you reading the actual article. 
“The legislation will not ban homework, but encourage school boards & educational agencies to establish homework policies that consider impacts on students’ physical/mental health with input from parents, teachers, students themselves.”

Welp. This law is designed to keep poor and lower middle class kids even dumber.
There is no way in the universe that high school students average 2.5 hours homework each night. The 2023 American Freshman Survey counted only 13% of high schoolers headed to college (that is, excluding the bottom students) reaching 16 hours a week.
my high school's homework load made it impossible to pursue any ancillary interests without eliminating all your self time. glad they're reigning it in.

I hated homework when I was in school so this is cool and fun imo good for them
Kids are in school for over six hours. One hour of that should be for any “homework.”
There’s a well demonstrated correlation between hours of homework and academic achievement.
Good. Excessive homework isn’t helpful, and in fact can be detrimental to students.
I’m not Californian and this website doesn’t explain what the bill does exactly.
All this means is that a school has to create/maintain a school-wide policy by Aug2028, rather than relying on individual teachers’ or otherwise. (Which will still happen until parents step in)
Good… now if they can actually implement useful courses in high schools like.. financial literacy, that would be amazing.
This is such a non issue. I’m almost certain the more rigorous schools give the most homework. This is exactly what Vivek was referring to. Ppl have no issue with 2 hour football practice, but homework is stressful.
Perfect, another thing their parents are responsible for. At what point, do districts hold parents responsible for their children?
Isn’t high school homework usually optional? I did more homework in middle school.
California is suffering at the hands of Gavin Newsom's $20 minimum wage law.

This law helps teachers unions; not students. California doesn't want its students to succeed.
This is a common parental request, because for some reason, in America, parents do the homework for the children.
Parents should be banned from helping with homework. Any parental aid should be considered cheating, and the student suspended.

damn so many people in these comments just want younger generations to suffer as much as they did, they don’t want life to become more
enjoyable
“It’s addressing homework, which is the top stressor for kids,” Schiavo said. “It’s often number one.”
Quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while. A child’s job is to go to school. Also, the question should be are children learning?
