Different teachers have different expectations, which can confuse parents. Below are ways you might suggest parents be involved. A desk in the bedroom is nice, but for many youngsters the kitchen table or a corner of the living room works just fine. Look over the homework, but do not do the homework for them. Inform parents that more then 2 to 3 hours of television-viewing on school nights is related to lower student achievement.
Moderate television viewing, especially when supervised by parents, can help children learn.
Every day they wrote in journals, held class debriefing sessions, talked about how hard it was to give up television, generated lists of alternative things to do, including homework. TV sucks time away from these kids. Your zip code should not dictate the quality of your education.
