Secret Teacher: Elizabeth is 12 and homework is stealing her childhood

Elizabeth sometimes doesn’t seem like a child. She’s more like a mini-executive, balancing a packed schedule and the weight of expectation placed on her by the school, her high-flying peers and, increasingly, by herself. I am absolutely certain that she will go on to do great things. I just hope that, among the many talents she is mastering, she learns how to slow down and enjoy being a kid.
