Parent Homework Guide
Parent:an
individual or combination of individuals
who are responsible for protecting,
educating, disciplining and raising a
child.
Homework can be frustrating and most
students don't want to do the
assignments, since it would cut into
their social and internet activities.
Encourage them to do their work and help
them if they need it, but don't do it
for them!

would be
surprised
how many
students
will
start
the work
but
switch
it to a
game or

when you
are out

room.
You
might
even
consider
a
computer

only
receive
educational

other
entertainment
