Homework is a constructive tool in the teaching / learning process, geared to the needs and abilities of students, for the reinforcement of matter learned in school. It is also intended to help students develop independent study habits. Students should try and do their homework entirely on their own, with the help of their parents if they need. They should develop a regular homework routine, keep their parents informed with respect to homework assignments and show them the finished work. Students should ensure that they are prepared with whatever stationery supplies are needed for homework. Give their parents sufficient notice, if any extra material is needed for projects and other such home assignments, so that these can be acquired without inconvenience. Earmark a regular block of time for homework. If no homework is assigned they should maintain the routine, by reviewing class work or reading a book during the time assigned for homework. Ensure that their homework assignments are completed on time and that all supporting books and materials are carried back to school. Ask their parents, on a daily basis, to review their homework tasks, show them the completed work and ensure that they sign the almanac. Seek their parents’ help to list the things they did not understand, so that they can share these with their teacher at school the next day.
