Man Bites Dog and Kids Ask for Homework!

Talk about a "Man Bites Dog" headline, this is one of the best testimonials for ExploreLearning we've ever come across. Science teacher Linda Canobbio of Monroe Township Public Schools in New Jersey writes,

The kids worked on the module today on cell division. They were so engaged and quiet that I had to check for their pulses!

And, get this, the Linda's students are asking for Gizmo homework!

We are expecting a big snow storm this weekend and the kids asked if they could work on Gizmos at home and on Monday if we don't have school. What! They are asking to do homework !?! Love it, love it, love it.

We love it, too, Linda. Thanks so much for letting us know about your students' enthusiasm for the Gizmos. It doesn't get any better than that.

Meanwhile, Linda's story stands in sharp contrast to this one:

A suburban Milwaukee teen and his dad are suing the boy's math teacher for assigning homework to be done over summer vacation.

They are seeking to bar homework assignments over the summer.

No doubt, homework is a tough sell with students. That's what makes Linda's experience in Monroe Township so inspiring for all of us here at ExploreLearnng World Headquarters.
