Our children across the country are all doing more homework now, to all hours of the night and on weekends but sadly learning less. Why not have them do less homework and learn more, its possible.

In Amanda Ripley’s book The Smartest Kids in the World, and How They Got That Way, she researches education from all around the world. Schools in Finland are ranked # 1, and guess what?  No homework.

We don’t want to do away with homework here, but simply give less of it each day so our children can focus on inspiration in Education, Music, the Arts, Sports, and NOT more busy work. Some NJ schools in Bergen county already are setting a 2 hour limit!

The rub, teachers will be more refreshed, students more receptive to learning and become smarter. A win-win to help our kids live a richer life on the weekends! Our goal is to cut the entire amount per night in half, cut down to refresher work, allowing for other activities or extra time to study for tests or music or sports practice.
