with me is antonio bird. you are with the tampa hillsborough homeless initiative. what's all going on today? because from start to finish, these folks are going to get all the documentation, all the stuff they need and they are going to have their own apartment by end of the day. is that correct. in eight hours, less than eight-hour time span from time they start which will be roughly around 10 o'clock, to actually for some veterans up until like home. but benefit of operation revelly is we have all of services on site in terms of immediate needs services rather free government cell phones, food stamp applications, whether they apply for veteran benefits because lot of vets don't know there is additional benefits they can seif. now earlier this morning on good day you shared your story of being homeless briefly. when you were in college. from your perspective, having known and gone through all of that, what these folks have gone through and knowinghe these volunteers are here for them, that's got to be an amazing feeling. it is an amazing feeling and have beening somebody in their shoes, i can't imagine being a veteran being homeless or serve in our country. then not having a place to call home. but i do know what that's like being a team you know as a youth. young adult per se, experiencing the issue of homelessness i know that feeling of not really having a home if it keeps so without housing, your health can tarnish which at the time i have a lot of health issues that i didn't know about until i got housing and got stable now stability cameeverything else became stable rather it be health finances and life. all of those things do not become stable until you get a home. >> yeah you can't, hard to get a job too because you don't have an address. no. what you put on application. you can't get mail. simplest things, as we get home, you know those of housing hav we take those little things for granted. but, when you see a person served our country, go through those issues, this is the most that we can do. he mean the least we can do to pay it back to for serving our country and fighting for our freedom. fantastic program thank you so much. >> thank you so much. all right. that's operation revelly. walter allen, fox 13 news. great to hear about that, thanks, walter. there lot freebies for veterans day. we have provide ad complete list on

we'll talk to the teacher and parents who support the idea and school doesn't end for children once they get home. have been expected to do homework. but a new trend is changing that. for last month?

after school. he piano. many schools across the country trend. texas second grade teacher brandy young sent home a letter to parents letting them know she would not assigning homework for entire school year and it quickly went viral. on her website she encouraged other teachers to do the same. research has unable to prove homework improves student performance. this doctor agrees. research just doesn't show that deeper learning occurs from more hours of homework lutz take different approach in order to help their students who are already struggling with learning challenges. >> our goal for each is to not have homework. we'd like them to work hard while they are here. 8 grady student an andrew oh and her mother randy say this tactic has been game changer. i liked it better because then you could just go to the teacher right then and there ask and everything then you can bring the easier stuff home. going home and having that free time and not feeling stressed out that you have to continue to there's no struggles a home. there's no crying at home and she feels accomplished. grades have gone up because she has the help throughout day with homework. she says students like alex dree a struggled in public school setting. one of the reasons was because homework policy. they could not get their work completed or completed correctly. we checked the homework policy and certain bay area counties. and according to a policy in hillsborough county, homework should not exceed 15 to minutes per night for kindergarten. 30 minutes for grades 1 to 3 and 45 minutes for fourth and fifth grade. in pinellas county scoot a teacher by teacher decision in all subject areas polk county policy states number of frequency and degree of difficulty of homework assignments should based on the ability and needs of the student. alexandria says her school policy is given her more time with her family and made her a better student. also helped me be able to just time into my studying for

forecast. i'm hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. ation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto? significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. hey everybody i'm clab coming to you from lakewood today from the sun and fun fly in area. next to lakewood elementary airport
