So I was talking to a realtor the other day, who said they took a tour of the new Beacon Park K-8 and someone at the school mentioned to them that IUSD had changed their homework policy based upon studies which determined that homework was not effective and that IUSD was getting rid of homework.
The realtor I talked to, didn't have further specifics, but I figured if something like this had happened, someone would have mentioned it here. I have to presume this was something like, no homework for grades K-4 or something like that vs. no homework throughout the district. Anyway, was going to see whether this is some urban myth or if this actually happened this year and if so, does anyone have any specifics (my kids aren't school age yet, but am curious).
