About homework

Homework is an extension of the day's activities. While the task is started in class with a teacher, finishing at home allows students more time to think about what they have learned.

Homework is always complementary to the classroom activities, and is part of the teacher's larger framework and long-term instructional plan.

If you child is having trouble with the homework, you can do two things:
- First, sit with your child and help them through the assignment. Sometimes students misunderstand the instructions and become frustrated. With your guidance and patience, your child will be more likely to complete the assignment.
- Secondly, contact the teacher directly to let him or her know about your child's difficulties. This will help the teacher modify or adapt their instruction, and often let them teach the same topic again in a new way for your child's benefit.
