From the moment children wake up, their time is not their own. Students today spend hours tied to a desk, afternoons juggling a barrage of extracurricular activities and night slogging through piles of homework. Studies show they’re overworked, stressed out and sleep deprived. Yet, they press on because they have been taught that busy equals better.
The team behind Race to Nowhere, Transforming Education from the Ground Up, presents their latest project. Ban Busy: Time to Thrive Campaign. This campaign aims to bust the myth that busy is better! Join us for a presentation and discussion that will highlight how making more time for play, creativity, exploration, family, friends and leisure makes students happier and healthier. You will not want to miss this parent education night.
