This is the opposite of Euphoria.

If you are interested in learning more about the ill-effects of homework on kids (if the picture wasn't convincing enough for you), try these:

    I was always so stressed out about homework because I wanted to do well in school. I would spend hours working on my homework every night, and I did get good grades. My younger sister, on the other hand, would do her homework in homeroom and also got good grades...so what does that tell you?!

    I have really been enjoying your blog and it is opening my eyes to some things as we prepare to start homeschooling our daughter in the fall. Thanks for challenging the established way of thinking!
