PARENTS , VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS
Parents ’ role in homework at the secondary level
In general , students who spend more time on homework do better in school . Completing homework regularly also helps students develop good work habits and self-discipline . While secondary students need to become independent in getting their homework done , parents can help them develop good habits .
• Help your child be organized with schoolwork . Encourage him or her to write down all assignments in a planner or notebook . ( A student planner is provided to all middle and high school students .)
• Help your child develop a daily routine for completing homework that allows enough flexibility for school activities plus time to spend with friends .
• Provide a quiet place to study , away from the distraction of television .
• Sometimes homework is difficult . When your child asks for help or is struggling , help your child find the resources ( people , books , and reference material ) to get it done . The student should also talk to the teacher for clarification or help . Don ’ t do the work for your child .
• Provide basic supplies and resources your child will need . Refer to your school ’ s supply list .
• Show an interest in your child ’ s work and offer to take him or her to the library or elsewhere to do research if needed .
