TORONTO - Education Minister Kathleen Wynne says all school boards should review their homework policy to ensure kids aren't being overloaded.
Toronto's public school board is looking at setting stricter rules around homework, including removing penalties for late work and not assigning work on holidays.
Wynne says those suggestions sound reasonable but she says it's up to local school boards to set their homework policies.
She says you can't put a homework policy in place and then never look at it again.
Premier Dalton McGuinty says it's up to principals and teachers to ensure they aren't overloading kids with homework.
Toronto trustee Josh Matlow says studies show homework at an early age is redundant and kids shouldn't be stressing about homework on vacation.
