Help kids overcome obstacles and learn to complete homework successfully By Ruth Sidney Charney Ruth Sidney Charney has taught children and teachers for almost 30 years. Completing homework successfully is one of the most important skills children can learn.
Homework gives students a chance to practice skills and review ideas they learned in class.
