From where I sit, it seems as though you have a good public conversation going on in your community. You have a good back and forth in your blog and a group of articulate, thoughtful parents who are educated on the subject. Have those of you in the same school tried going in together to talk to the administration?

And yes, an op-ed in your local newspaper is a great idea. Or what about pitching the idea of a show on homework to your local radio or TV station? I'd be happy to be part of a call-in show; perhaps I could even donate a few copies of The Case Against Homework that the host could give out.

And Gilbert, yes homework does take up too much time. Given that it has no benefit at all in elementary school, it shouldn't be taking up any.
