A city council in Sweden are debating whether or not to ban homework. The homework ban was suggested by the Left Party which believes students should learn everything during school hours. The Hallstahammar city council will continue their investigation this fall to determine the proper resources needed to make such changes. One possible drawback for students would be that school hours may be expanded.

Hitchhiking robot to journey across Canada this summer. HitchBOT will start odyssey on July 27 from Halifax, hoping to wind up at an art gallery in Victoria. The robot will converse with drivers, tweet photos, and recharge through cigarette ports. At least that’s the hope.
