How can my child reduce the amount of homework being brought home?
A large part of homework involves correcting errors from classroom assignments. Many times we find students falling behind in these corrections and consequently before long they are overloaded in work at home. Demand that your child complete all corrections EVERY night. Do not accept that they forgot them or they accidentally left them at school or that the dog ate them, etc. Once an excuse is acceptable, more excuses will be invented.
