Homework: I almost think parents dread it almost as much as kids do. We were lucky enough to avoid it for the first few years at my son's school, but now that he's in the third grade we're finally staring the homework monster in the eye. And we will not let it destroy us! It helps to remember what the whole purpose of homework is: To reinforce what kids learn during the school day, and to make sure parents stay involved in their kids' education. Did you know -- parental involvement is even more important to your kids' acacemic success than the quality of their school? I'm still learning how to support my son the right way when he does his homework. Here's some suggestions I've found especially helpful.![]()
