HOMEWORK!!!!!!!    No school-related task is dreaded more by both parents and students; yet it is one of the most beneficial aspects of learning. According to the U.S. Department of Education, benefits of doing homework include the following:

Benefits for Students


·        Improving memory and understanding of schoolwork
·        Developing valuable study skills
·        Realizing that learning can occur both inside and
         outside the classroom
·        Fostering independence and responsibility
·        Learning time management skills

Benefits for Parents

·        Improved communication between the school and the
         family
·        Increased clarity of what is expected of students
·        Consistent awareness of what students are learning
·        Accurate knowledge of how well their child is doing in
         school

Maximize the benefits of homework by knowing its purpose. There are four general types of homework. It is easy to remember them by the acronym, PIPE.

·        Practice—reinforces learning; helps the students master
         specific skills
·        Integration—requires the student to apply a variety of
         different skills to a single task
·        Preparation—introduces material to be taught in future
         lessons
·        Extension—asks students to apply their skills to a new
         situation

Knowing these purposes of homework can help in choosing the best study and homework completion strategies.

Another way parents can help with homework is by knowing how to help. Increase your involvement if your child is having difficulty in school. Support your child’s approach to completing homework if your child is doing well in school.
