The Less Homework Revolution
*Having three kids, this is one of my favorite articles that I’ve read in a long time. At first I was a skeptic about no more homework. After reading the article, I was gung-ho. Let me know what you think after your done reading…
How fed-up parents are changing the way schools think — and how you can, too
By Nancy Kalish
I used to be extremely pro-homework. In fact, I once wrote an article for this very magazine telling readers how to get kids to stop whining and knuckle down to work. Back then, I could afford to be smug: My second-grader was happily zooming through her ten minutes a night. But a few years later, Allison started coming home with four hours of homework each night, and everything changed. Now there was not only whining but also begging, yelling, and crying — sometimes from both of us. The worst part: hearing my previously enthusiastic learner repeatedly swear how much she hated school.
I’d always assumed homework was essential. But when I finally looked into the research about it, I was floored to find there’s little to support homework — especially in vast quantities. While not every child gets too much, many kids are now overloaded as early as kindergarten. I was appalled (I even cowrote a book about it, The Case Against Homework), so you can bet that this time around, you won’t be getting any “how to be a good homework cop” tips from me.
Instead, I’m here to call you to action. You can change things for your child — even for the whole school. There are more and more frustrated parents and wised-up schools around the country, so why should your child keep suffering through hours of work? A less-homework revolution is brewing, and you can join it.
Taking Back Family Time
Like me, Christine Hendricks, a mother of three in Glenrock, WY, had always believed in homework. Then her daughter, Maddie, entered elementary school. “By the fourth grade, she had so much, there was no time for after-school activities, playing, or simply enjoying our evenings together. We were always stressed, and I knew many other families were also miserable.” Hendricks decided things had to change — and she had a unique advantage: She’s the principal of Glenrock’s Grant Elementary School. Together with her teachers, she looked into the research and found what I did: Homework’s not what it’s cracked up to be. “We decided to do an experiment and eliminate most homework,” she says. The one exception: occasional studying for a test. “This is only our second year without it, but there have been no backslides in the classroom or in test scores,” says Hendricks. “Parents say their kids enjoy reading again because there’s no pressure. In fact, there have been no negative effects whatsoever. And there’s much less stress at our house, too.” We’re not all in a position to fast-track a solution as Hendricks did, but we still have power.
In Toronto, Frank Bruni decided to do something when a pediatrician told him that his 13-year-old son should exercise more. Says Bruni, “I thought to myself, ‘And when would he do that?’ ” So Bruni organized other parents and lobbied the Toronto School District to hold public meetings, presenting the research behind homework. The result is a new policy that affects more than 300,000 kids, limiting homework to reading in elementary school, eliminating holiday homework, and stating the value of family time. Canada’s education minister now wants all the country’s school boards to make sure students aren’t being overloaded. “It’s so gratifying to know that this year, Toronto’s kids are going to have a life,” says Bruni. “It shows you just how much parents can do when they try.”
why it’s worth a fight
Homework is such an established part of education, it’s hard to believe it’s not all that beneficial, especially in large quantities. But the truth is, a recent Duke University review of numerous studies found almost no correlation between homework and long-term achievement in elementary school, and only a moderate correlation in middle school. “More is not better,” says Harris Cooper, Ph.D., a professor of psychology and neuroscience who conducted the review. In fact, according to guidelines endorsed by the National Education Association, teachers should assign no more than ten minutes per grade level per night (that’s ten minutes total for a first-grader, 30 minutes for a third-grader).
Pile on more and it can backfire. “Most kids are simply developmentally unable to sit and learn for longer,” says Cooper. Remember: Many have already been glued to their desks for seven hours, especially at schools that have cut gym, recess, art, and music to cram in more instructional time. If you add on two hours of homework each night, these children are working a 45-hour week. Some argue that we need to toughen kids up for high school, college, and the workforce. But there are other ways to teach responsibility, such as the chores that parents often have to let slide because of studying. And too much homework is actually sapping our children’s strength, natural curiosity, and love of learning. “Kids are developing more school-related stomachaches, headaches, sleep problems, and depression than ever before,” says William Crain, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the City College of New York and author of Reclaiming Childhood: Letting Children Be Children in Our Achievement-Oriented Society. “We’re seeing kids who are burned out by fourth grade. Soon, it will be by second grade.” Too much homework also means that kids miss out on active playtime, essential for learning social skills, proper brain development, and warding off childhood obesity.
All this work doesn’t even make educational sense. “It’s counterintuitive, but more practice or the wrong kind of practice doesn’t necessarily make perfect,” says Kylene Beers, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and author of When Kids Can’t Read, What Teachers Can Do. For example, children are able to memorize long lists of spelling words — but many will misspell them the following week.
“Instead, they should spend the time reading and writing, and practicing words that are at the appropriate level for each child,” says Beers. According to the U.S. Department of Education, most often a math teacher can tell after checking five algebraic equations whether a student has understood the necessary concepts. Even more important, whether it’s algebra or addition, five problems is enough to tell if a student doesn’t understand a concept. Practicing dozens of homework problems incorrectly only cements the wrong method into his brain. Naturally, some kids need more practice before math skills become automatic, but pages of problems rarely help the whole class. In addition, teachers who assign large numbers of problems are often unable to do anything more than spot-check homework. That means errors are missed — and some children truly are left behind.
So why are schools ignoring all these guidelines? “Many teachers are under greater pressure than ever before to assign more homework,” says Beers. “Some of it comes from parents, some from the administration and the desire for high scores on standardized tests.” And here’s a surprise: Your child’s teachers have probably never taken a course that covers what constitutes good or bad homework, how much to give, and the research behind it. “I’m disappointed to admit that colleges of education simply don’t offer specific training in homework,” says Beers. Cooper adds, “Teachers are winging it.”
4 waste-of-time assignments
typical assignment: Keep a reading log
why it’s busywork: Writing down the title is one thing; adding on the author, publisher, and other info turns reading into a tedious activity. Rather, let kids write a line or two about why they liked or didn’t like the book. The time would also be better spent reading another book.
typical assignment: Play an “unscramble the word” spelling game
why it’s busywork: If a child sees a spelling word with the letters scrambled, he could end up remembering it that way, says National Council of Teachers of English president Kylene Beers.
typical assignment: Answer the questions at the end of the chapter
why it’s busywork: This can encourage kids to “skim and scan,” hunting for answers and ignoring other content. The exception is questions that help kids infer meaning.
typical assignment: Create a diorama/model/game board/anything that requires craft supplies and a glue gun
why it’s busywork: Such “fun” projects usually involve a frantic trip to the crafts store, expensive supplies, too much parent participation — and too little educational value to justify the number of hours they take (with the possible exception of science-fair projects). If it’s all about how it looks, it’s probably not worth it.
the start of something big
A revolution has to begin somewhere, and as Christine Hendricks, the Wyoming principal and mom, proves, that somewhere isn’t only on the coasts or in big cities. It’s in communities and schools all over the country.
After teaching math for several years at South Valley Middle School in Liberty, MO, Joel Wazac realized that his students were rarely finishing the reams of problems he sent home. So he and other math teachers decided to eliminate homework and concentrate on making class lessons more engaging. “I had more time for planning when I wasn’t grading thousands of problems each night,” says Wazac. “And when a student didn’t understand something, instead of a parent trying to puzzle it out, I was right there to help him.” The result: Grades went up and the school’s standardized math test scores are the highest they’ve ever been.
In some cases, entire schools, such as Mason-Rice Elementary in Newton, MA, have limited homework according to the “ten-minute rule.” The Raymond Park Middle School in Indianapolis has a written policy instructing teachers to “assign homework only when you feel the assignment is valuable. A night off is better than homework which serves no worthwhile purpose.” Others, such as Oak Knoll Elementary in Menlo Park, CA, are eliminating elementary school homework altogether. If these schools can do it, why can’t yours?
Many parents are the ones leading the fight against homework overload
and winning. In Danville, CA, Kerry Dickinson, a mother of two, spearheaded the effort by organizing more than 100 parents to convince the local school district to revise its homework policy. The policy still exceeds the “ten minutes per grade” rule, but it discourages weekend and holiday homework and stresses the value of family time. “Is it perfect? Not even close,” says Dickinson, who has a teaching credential herself. “But it’s progress.” You may feel more comfortable starting smaller — but that’s a great way to get the revolution brewing in your community. Aubrey King is a mom who found that teachers can be more responsive (and sympathetic) than you might think. “Normally, we have no time for after-school activities, the park, or even getting an ice cream cone,” says King, the Colorado Springs mother of a third- and a sixth-grader, as well as three younger children. But when one child’s homework interfered with the family’s preparations for Christmas, it was the last straw. King e-mailed the teacher, who promptly eliminated all assignments for the entire class until after winter break.
Another step in the right direction: Krisi Repp of Gray Summit, MO, sent each of her three children’s teachers a letter detailing her family’s already busy schedule and gently informing them that homework was interfering with sleep, exercise, dinner, church, and precious time together. “Several teachers commented ‘I never thought about that’ or ‘You’re right,’” Repp reports. “Many don’t have school-age children yet themselves. They’re not going to know any better unless we speak out.”
Joining the revolution
Fewer than 60 percent of schools have official homework policies, which means that it might be a lot more negotiable than you think. Keep your approach nonconfrontational and cooperative, and you have a good chance of success.
If your child has too much homework tonight… stop the suffering with a note. If he’s been working longer than he can bear, don’t push him further. It’ll only make him dislike homework more. Instead, write a note to the teacher on the homework, saying that Jonathan tried but couldn’t complete the assignment and that you felt it was more important that he get a good night’s sleep. There usually are no negative consequences.
If homework overload is a continuing problem… speak up. E-mail the teacher to request a meeting, and ask how long she expects her assignments to take. Compare that to the ten-minutes-per-grade-level guideline and how long it actually takes your child. Then when you meet, try not to be accusatory (“Your homework is killing my child!”) but to enlist the teacher as an ally (“Lucy can’t concentrate for more than X minutes each night. After that, she starts to hate the work, and the learning stops”). Together, perhaps you can decide that your child will tackle reading first, do only five math problems, and stop once she’s reached her limit. Another strategy: Describe a typical night for your family. This might be enough to help the teacher realize there isn’t enough time (for any kid) to finish all of the assignments.
If homework overload is a widespread problem at school… find strength in numbers. If your child is miserable, chances are other kids in his class are, too. Ask the other parents to e-mail the teacher or approach the principal with you. Sometimes that’s all it takes. If that doesn’t work, you might want to organize a homework forum at your school or speak before the school board, with the goal of establishing a reasonable homework policy. Ask parents to fill out a survey first so you have documentation of how much homework the children are doing. Click here for a sample one from The Case Against Homework. Another great site, StopHomework.com, is run by less-homework advocate Sara Bennett; it has the latest research and can give you personal advice for making change.
Nancy Kalish is the coauthor, with Sara Bennett, of The Case Against Homework: How Homework Is Hurting Children and What Parents Can Do About It.
Parenting and Georgetown University has teamed up to launch Mom Congress, a brand-new program to help moms connect and advocate for positive change in their children’s education.

Are you looking for an interesting way to get your kids involved? We just found the organization called “Canstruction”. This unique group challenges architects, engineers, designers, contractors, students, and the local community to join together to build works of art out of food cans.
Canstruction is a nonprofit organization that holds annual design and build competitions to construct fantastic, giant sized, structures made entirely out of canned food. In each city after the structures are built and the winners declared the creations go on view to the general public as giant art exhibits. At the close of the competitions all of the food used in the structures is donated to the local food banks for distribution to community emergency feeding programs.
In 2010, Canstruction raised over 2 million pounds of food which was donated to local food banks. This was enough food to provide 1.5 million meals.
Get your kids, schools, temples, and churches involved in this fun event. Pair up with an engineer and collect the cans necessary to complete a crazy food work of art. Send us your pics so we can see the designs you’ve created. Have fun with this unique way for kids to give back.

We’ve searched and searched and finally found the best Top 15 Diet Tips recommended by the medical experts. It’s not as easy as it looks. Start by picking one or two and do those diet tips for a week. Slowly add one more tip in a week and before you know it, the pounds will slide right off.
Top Diet Tip No. 1: Drink plenty of water
It’s easy to confuse thirst with hunger. People end up eating extra food when their body is just begging for a cold glass of water. Fill up a container of water and keep it at your desk or on the kitchen counter. Go for the water before you go for the snacks. “If you don’t like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories,” says Cynthia Sass, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
Top Diet Tip No. 2: Focus on adding to your diet, not on taking away
Make sure to get the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Although it may sound like a lot, it is doable if you add a fruit or vegetable to every meal and use them as snacks. Just think, if you are eating good food, your stomach will feel full and you will be less likely to eat extra snacks. Grab a handful of almonds or an apple before a meal to fill up your stomach.
Top Diet Tip No. 3: Are you really hungry?
When you feel like eating, check your body for physical signs of hunger, suggests Michelle May, MD, author of Am I Hungry? “Hunger is your body’s way of telling you that you need fuel, so when a craving doesn’t come from hunger, eating will never satisfy it,” she says. “When you’re done eating, you should feel better — not stuffed, bloated, or tired. Your stomach is only the size of your fist, so it takes just a handful of food to fill it comfortably,” says May. Keeping your portions small will help you learn to read your body for signs of hunger and fullness.
Top Diet Tip No. 4: Be picky about nighttime snacks.
Nighttime is when you finally get a chance to sit down and relax. During this time, it is easy to mindlessly eat food. “Sitting down with a bag of chips or cookies in front of the television is an example of eating amnesia, where you mindlessly eat without being hungry, but out of habit,” says American Dietetic Association spokesperson Malena Perdomo, RD. Try closing down your kitchen after a certain hour or allow yourself a low-calorie snack, like a 100-calorie pack of cookies or a half-cup scoop of low-fat ice cream.
Top Diet Tip No. 5: Continue to enjoy your favorite foods.
“I think putting your favorite foods off limits leads to weight gain because it triggers ‘rebound’ overeating,” says Sass. Instead of cutting out your favorite foods altogether, try smaller portions. Buy one fresh bakery cookie instead of a box, or a small portion of candy from the bulk bins instead of a whole bag. “You can enjoy your favorite foods, but you must do so in moderation,” says Sass.
Top Diet Tip No. 6: Enjoy your treats away from home.
Instead of keeping your favorite treats in the house, enjoy them away from home. Take a trip to the ice cream shop or stop by the bakery. “By making it into an adventure, you don’t have to worry about the temptation of having treats in the house, and it is a fun and pleasurable way to make it work when you are trying to lose weight.” says Krieger.
Top Diet Tip No. 7: Go for several mini-meals during the day.
If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. But when you’re hungry all the time, eating fewer calories can be challenging. “Studies show people who eat 4-5 meals or snacks per day are better able to control their appetite and weight,” says obesity researcher Rebecca Reeves, DrPH, RD. She recommends dividing your daily calories into smaller meals or snacks and enjoying as many of them as you can early in the day — dinner should be the last time you eat.
Top Diet Tip No. 8: Add protein at every meal.
Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and thus may be the new secret weapon in weight control. “Diets higher in protein [and] moderate in carbs, along with a lifestyle of regular exercise, have an excellent potential to help weight loss,” says University of Illinois protein researcher Donald Layman, PhD.
Getting enough protein helps preserve muscle mass and encourages fat burning while keeping you feeling full. So be sure to include healthy protein sources, like yogurt, cheese, nuts, or beans, at meals and snacks.
Top Diet Tip No. 9: Spice up your meals.
Did you know that adding spices or chiles to your food for a flavor boost that can help you feel satisfied? “Food that is loaded with flavor will stimulate your taste buds and be more satisfying so you won’t eat as much,” says Perdomo. When you need something sweet, suck on a red-hot fireball candy for a long-lasting burst of sweetness with just a few calories.
Top Diet Tip No. 10: Stock your kitchen with ready to go foods.
Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes staples on hand sets you up for success. You’ll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza order if you can make a healthy meal in 5 or 10 minutes.
Sass stocks her kitchen with:
- 94% fat-free microwave popcorn (20-25 calories per cup, and you can make it in two minutes or less)
- Frozen vegetables
- Bags of pre-washed greens
- Canned diced tomatoes
- Canned beans
- Whole-grain wraps or pitas
- Pre-cooked grilled chicken breasts
- A few containers of pre-cooked brown rice
Within minutes, she can toss together a healthy medley.
Top Diet Tip No. 11: Order child size portions at restaurants.
“When you are eating out, order a child’s pizza or a small sandwich as an easy way to trim calories and get your portions under control,” suggest Perdomo. Another easy trick is to use smaller plates. This helps the portions to look bigger, and if your mind is satisfied, your stomach likely will be, too.
Top Diet Tip No. 12: Eat fruits and vegetables in season.
“If you don’t love certain fruits or vegetables, it could be because you ate them out of season when they have little taste or flavor,” says Pensiero. “When you eat seasonally, fruits and vegetables are more flavorful, at their Top, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
At GiGi’s Trattoria, her restaurant in Rhinebeck, N.Y., she serves simple fruit desserts, like naturally sweet strawberries topped with aged balsamic vinegar, or low-fat yogurt or fresh berries in a compote.
Top Diet Tip No. 13: Swap a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables.
By eating less pasta or bread and more veggies, you could lose a dress or pants size in a year.
“You can save from 100-200 calories if you reduce the portion of starch on your plate and increase the amount of vegetables,” says Sass.
Top Diet Tip No. 14: Use non-food alternatives to cope with stress.
Instead of turning to food during stressful situations, be prepared with some non-food tactics that work for you. Sass suggests reading a few chapters in a novel, listening to music, writing in a journal, practicing meditative deep breathing, or looking at a photo album of loved ones.
Top Diet Tip No. 15: Be physically active.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, don’t use exercise either to punish yourself for eating or to “earn” the right to eat more.
“When you do, it sets up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many people say they hate to exercise,” says May. Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how much more energy you have when you exercise. Physical activity is good for you whether you are trying to lose weight or not, so keep it positive and build a lifelong habit.

On Long Island, we spend a ridiculous amount of money on kid’s birthday parties. Since I have three kids, I was looking for a way to reduce spending but still give my children a birthday to remember. Fortunately, I was able to convince my one son to have a backyard birthday party. But not just any birthday party, a messy birthday party!
Here are some of the games we played and ideas we used to make it a rocking good time. I’m including pics so you can see how much fun everyone had.
When the birthday party invites were sent out, we made sure to let parents know what they were in for. We said, “Messy Party, prepared to get dirty!” In hindsight, we should have told parents to bring a change of clothes or a towel to clean off their kids. We also did the party at 3:00 pm so we only had to supply snacks instead of feeding dinner to the children and parents.
Set up: We set up a giant tarp in the backyard to protect the grass and to make for an easy clean up. I hit Wal-Mart and bought giant buckets that we filled with clean water and put them at either end of the tarp for rinsing between games.
To start: I figured that kids would need a little time to warm up before they got right into messy. We started with crazy face painting and colored hair spray to get everyone in the mood. We also had stations around the yard in case kids didn’t want to participate in the games. I filled up a kiddy pool with jello and had kids slide down into the jello. We put out chocolate pudding in the sand table for finger painting and mess making.
Games:
Simon Says: An adult lead the group in simon says. Any time a child made a mistake, they were sprayed with silly string. To end the game, we filled a bucket of jello and dumped it over the leaders head! The kids had a blast watching an adult get messy.
Shaving cream on plates: Again, another beginning way to get dirty. Everyone sat down and received a pile of shaving cream on their plate. Some kids finger-painted and other kids went into full shaving cream wars.
Water balloon toss: Make two separate lines with children standing close together. Everyone tosses their balloon to a partner on the count of three. If you catch the balloon, take a step back. Keep tossing until the balloon breaks. Be sure to have plenty of extra balloons on hand.
Raw Egg Races: This is the typical race with the egg on a spoon. Again, line everyone up in two groups. Two children race each other while holding an egg on a spoon. Have them turn around and race back. Give the spoon to the next person in line.
Tug of War: Having a tug of war game was fun because the tarp was already so slippery. If the tarp is still clean, put down a little cooking oil to make it slippery. We used a jump rope, but it wasn’t a good idea because of the handles on the ends. Use a regular rope or take off the jump rope handles.
Find the candy: For this game, we had everyone stand at a table. We put a few pieces of candy on everyone’s plate and covered the plate with whipped cream. With hands behind their backs, the kids had to use their mouths to find the candy.
Decorate Cupcakes: We had a giant cake for the birthday boy, but we thought it would be fun for the kids to decorate their own cupcakes. We had tons of bags of frosting on the table and each child used different colors to make their own creation.
Pop the Balloons: Dozens of balloons were blown up and scattered around the yard. For this activity, we asked everyone to help clean up the balloons by sitting on them until they popped. The also had to bring us the balloon pieces for it to count.
Water Gun Fight: After doing a piñata, we ended the party with an all out water gun fight. Using the buckets of water, the kids had a huge water gun fight and slowly became clean. We also brought out the hose and sprayed everyone down before they left the party. The water guns were their favors that they took home.
All in all, the kids had the time of their lives and we took some amazing pictures. The party cost half of what I normally spend and everyone had a blast. That night, my son said to me, “Mom, that was the best birthday party ever!” That made it all worthwhile!
