Educators and social workers continually emphasize the importance of parents providing an appropriate place where children can work at home. Parents are asked to monitor homework time, to make sure students have an atmosphere conducive to studying, and to help their children organize their time and responsibilities. The role of the school is to give parents the support and encouragement to be good facilitators. Schools might wish to provide booklets, pamphlets and helpful hints related to homework.
Parents can learn to ask appropriate questions.
Teachers need to give captivating assignments which reinforce what has been taught and to stimulate parent-child interaction. A crucial parent responsibility is to help set up a realistic schedule. Most students have busy after-school involvements. Their parents might arrive home from work quite late in the day. Parents and their children need to work together as they plan the daily and weekly events.
