Yes - I saw this on FB and thought someone should post it here, but forgot to do so. Mind you, come to think of it... My DS's (high achieving) school has a very welcome no-homework policy, which is what lets DS play two instruments and do an AoPS course out of school and spend nearly two hours travelling every day and not quite go crazy - and I DO send work in with him; his AoPS challenge problems!

As for why this dad hasn't done something about it - I don't think it's nearly that easy. Home education isn't an option, never mind a good option, for all families, school choice is limited and involves compromises, schools may or may not be receptive to requests for flexibility...
