Beschreibung:
Alfie Kohn is the author of fourteen previous books, including Punished by Rewards, The Schools Our Children Deserve, and Unconditional Parenting. He lives in the Boston area.
Educator and parenting expert Kohn systematically examines the usual defenses of homework--that it reinforces learning and teaches study skills and responsibility--and shows why none of these assumptions is true. He argues that rethinking what happens during and after school can rescue our families.
