A
little reminder from the Eagle News from Kennedy High School:
Homework
is designed to help students achieve at the high academic level necessary for
life after high school.
Schoolwork
done at home provides training in study habits, skills and discipline; it
increases background knowledge and conceptual understanding; and it provides
experiences in problem solving and self-monitoring.
A
respectful balance between family and community obligations and homework is
desired while achieving the overall goal after high school preparation.
Typically
students have homework seven days a week. If no formal assignment is given, students are expected
to spend 15 to 30 minutes reviewing all notes, vocabulary, and exercises
already completed.
The
overriding philosophy of homework is that students must grow in independent
learning and in time management skills. The most successful students in life
are students who master time management and planning strategies.
Every
student should have a quiet place to study each night and a set time to study
each night.
Homework is not a
punishment. You must practice to do anything well.
