'Homework Trap' Author to Speak at Camden County Library

Psychologist Kenneth Goldberg advocates limiting time spent on homework.

From the Camden County Library System:

The author of “The Homework Trap”, clinical psychologist Kenneth Goldberg, Ph.D, will discuss his book at the Voorhees branch of the Camden County Library System on Saturday, March 9, 1-2:30 p.m.

Goldberg advocates for parents to assert their authority in limiting time spent on homework assignments.  He recommends parents and teachers look for “under-the- radar” learning problems that are amplified in the context of working at home instead of in the classroom. Goldberg’s book urges teachers, schools and the educational establishment to reconsider its approach to homework.
