Introducing The Homework Trap


I’m Dr. Kenneth Goldberg, the author of The Homework Trap: How to Save the Sanity of Parents, Students and Teachers. I am a psychologist with 35 years of experience, but also the parent of a homework trapped child. The concepts found here are not, to the best of my knowledge, found in any other book on the market today. There is a vital debate about homework policy in America, and, in fact, across the world. The debate typically focuses on how much homework children should do. There are some excellent comments being made by other authorities and authors like Etta Kralovec, Cathy Vatterott, Sara Bennett, and Alfie Kohn. I’ve read their positions and many of them have followed mine (Etta Kralovec, Cathy Vatterott, and Sara Bennett all wrote pre-publication reviews for my book). They are talking about homework policy as it applies to all children. I am talking about the homework trapped child. In the following links, I will offer you a brief explanation of the homework trap, the model I present in my book, at professional conferences, and at other presentations.
