Some of them positive, but many of them unpleasant. Frustration, annoyance, boredom, confusion, and even anger are among the many negative emotions parents, as well as their children, express when it comes to homework. Face it, most of us did not like doing homework when we were kids and we probably do not like it any better as parents. Homework, you are reminded constantly by your child's teachers, is an important component of the school experience. You are told that completing homework successfully makes for successful students.
Homework continues to be an institution in our educational system.
Even in well functioning families under ideal circumstances, homework can be one of the hottest parent-child crisis buttons. Parents are unsure as to the best time, place, routine, or system their child should use to complete homework. Many children rebel and parents feel overwhelmed by the pressure of meeting their children's school demands. It is not surprising that parents complain about homework almost as much as their children do. Most children during their school career forget some assignments, lose homework, require assistance, or make mistakes.
