For most kids, homework is just part of their daily lives, but have you ever imagined that one day you won't need to do any homework at all? Such a thing has just happened in a school in the UK.

Nottingham East Academy, a school in the UK, has established a non-homework policy (政策) recently. The school plans to give an extra lesson and provide more activities for students to do at school.

Letting kids leave their homework at school is becoming popular in the UK. Several other schools are welcoming the policy and are taking similar measures (措施).Tiffin Boy's school has started giving students less homework. Students now spend less time on homework. The time has dropped from two or three hours to just forty minutes a night. Nottingham East Academy is asking students to read for pleasure with their parents at home instead.
