We, the undersigned parents of students attending schools in the San Marino Unified School District, are requesting that the SMUSD district and the SMUSD Board of Education review the district's homework policy and related practices. We believe that it is necessary to address both the quantity and quality of homework assignments. We believe that the district should consider relevant research findings, parents' opinions and the effect of homework on the well-being of all our students.
The school board is still trying to sweep our concerns under the rug while our kids burn out from these endless assignments. I have been digging through the research and pinning down board members for answers because they refuse to acknowledge that this policy is broken.

Please fix this. My daughter is burnt out and hates school now. Kids need time to be kids after school.

My 3rd grader is up until 10pm every night doing busy work. It is way too much for a kid that young.
