...York, they live two hours apart; in Mather House, they live on either side of the same bathroom. Christina and Damaris, both literature concentrators, hope to attend law school and become judges. Together. After all, they almost share an identity. "In high school, my adviser, who was also a psychologist, said we were antisocial," Damaris explains. "We have all the same friends, but we do have friends. We just don't have friends by ourselves." When one is asked, "How are you doing?" she will often reply. "We're fine...

...ponder these questions as a child psychologist, an educational reformer and a father of four. I've got the battle scars to prove it. Perhaps the chief lesson I've learned is that homework is but one chapter in the lengthy book of parenting. The tensions can be reduced if the family's approach to homework echoes the broader relationship between child and parents that has unfolded over many years. Moreover, if families see homework as an occasion for energized action rather than angry reaction, homework can become a far more productive and even enjoyable activity...
