HOMEWORK: It's not a punishment!



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.
