Homework Report Card 1918
Terri Reinhart
In 1918, my grandmother was a teacher in a one room school house. Some years ago, I was given this copy of a homework report card from her class. I was thrilled to see there are no academic tasks on this report, instead the tasks are the chores a child was expected to do or help do at home. I wish schools today would emphasize this type of homework rather than the attempt to continue the school day into the child's precious family time.
