re: salemwood middle school at maldenmy daughter is at 5th grade now at salemwood. she is get a very good grade. But school is too easy for her. School teachers should give the students more homework and more demand from them. They have too much free time at home. As parents we are would like kids have more homework to take home to keep them busy. hopefully school will put more pressure on kids and more demand on kids.
