Is too much homework hurting our children? Yes, according to Sara Bennett, co-author of The Case Against Homework. During a 1-hour consultation, Sara will offer detailed advice from her own experience as a parent and successful homework reformer on which assignments advance learning and which are time-wasters, how to set priorities when your child comes home with an overstuffed backpack, how to talk and write to teachers and school administrators in persuasive, nonconfrontational ways, and how to rally other parents to help restore balance to your kids' lives. And she'll autograph your copy her widely acclaimed book as well!

Sara has appeared on CBS Evening News, Today Show, and NPR; been featured in NY Times, USA Today, and Daily News; and most recently was a panelist at the American Educational Reseach Association Conference, the largest education conference in the US.
