I couldn't finish it. Ina is painstakingly slow and methodical. For her, what is intended to be an hour s task becomes a much longer production. Still others can only concentrate in short doses or only if someone sits by their side. Sometimes I individualize assignments for students so that they have the opportunity to be successful at doing homework and become more confident.
Many students go home to empty houses or to different houses on different days of the week.
Their family life may be in disarray. Home may be a place where there is no space to work, no quiet, no dictionaries, or no one to ask for help. Or religious obligations, music lessons, or sporting activities may leave little time for homework. If students home life is keeping them from doing homework, I try to help them create a more homework-friendly time or space in their day. Depending on the situation, I may talk to students about creating study centers for themselves at home, or I may arrange for students to do homework in school.
