Effects of excessive homework on student learning
Many find that the battle over homework is one of the things that differentiate a hierarchy in education – from the privileged to the poor. At one end, we tend to see higher income parents who push their children into college preparatory, test prep, and other advanced courses; overscheduling their sporting and music events in between – all so they will look fantastic when they apply to college. On the other hand, inner city teachers work tirelessly, often without adequate textbooks and materials, just to find any learning opportunities. We do not really have a national education system that has parity – some students probably do have too much homework – some not enough

Counseling theories and practices
Existential therapy, person-centered therapy, and gestalt therapy all fall under the rubric of humanistic psychology. They share a considerable amount of theory, philosophy, and practice. Yet each of these practices is stemmed in its own theoretical framework; therefore, existential, person-centered, and gestalt therapies differ in key ways. Recent scholarship on existential, person-centered, and gestalt therapies builds on the rich canon of literature in these three core humanistic traditions, but is more than just summative. The following review of literature shows how existential therapy, person-centered therapy, and gestalt therapy are practiced in the 21st century, and in so doing, reveals the similarities and differences between these three humanistic psychological frameworks.
