There has been a lot of negative press surrounding the much maligned \u201chomework\u201d recently. In fact, it has been getting a bad rap for decades. Everyone is touting studies that show little or no correlation between performance and homework, while others say that any evidence that does exist between improved achievement and homework lacks a true causal link. This is particularly the case for elementary-aged students.<\/p>\n<p> <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why homework scores a failing grade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to a study published in the&nbsp;<em>Journal of Educational Psychology<\/em> by Cooper et al, \u201cThe conclusions of more than a dozen reviews of the homework literature conducted between 1960 and 1989 varied greatly\u201d.&nbsp; The results ranged from homework having positive effects, no effects, or complex effects and even suggested that most research on homework was too little or poorly completed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiekohn.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alfie Kohn<\/a>, a former principal and homework expert, believes that the bottom line should be no homework at all, except on those rare occasions when it\u2019s truly \u201cnecessary\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Homework has ultimately become an educational monster, rearing its ugly head at home every night just as you are about to relax with your family after a long day. Most students despise it and many parents I know dread it!<\/p>\n<p>For many parents, homework can be a huge challenge at home. Factors like student age, homework type and how often it is assigned are very important when it comes to looking at how effective homework really is. Sometimes there is too much or it is too hard. Despite all the findings regarding homework and all the parental complaints, it doesn\u2019t appear that homework will be put to rest in the immediate future. School boards continue to approve it and teachers continue to assign it. So long as homework is here to stay, here are a few of my teaching tips to make it more manageable at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 ways to help with homework @ home:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Make it FUN: If homework has to be assigned, then at least make it fun. Teachers who set interesting, engaging and relevant assignments that include real world applications of subject knowledge see a much higher incidence of homework completion and overall enthusiasm. If your child\u2019s homework lacks fun factor, try to at least apply some practical examples. Be sure to raise this with your child\u2019s teacher as well. <a href=\"http:\/\/kidsgoals.com\/parental-tips-tips-for-parents-2\/tips-for-kids-0-6-years\/making-homework-fun-for-your-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kids Goals<\/a> has some great suggestions on keeping things light and fun<\/li>\n<li>Make it accessible: Homework, like lesson plans, cannot follow the same blue print for every student. In a previous blog post for the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mabelslabels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mabelhood<\/a> called <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mabelslabels.com\/student-learning-styles-one-size-doesnt-fit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Student Learning Styles<\/a>: One size doesn\u2019t fit all, I discuss the importance of discovering and appreciating a child\u2019s unique learning style. This needs to be taken into consideration by both parents and teachers, especially when it comes to tackling homework as each student will prefer different formats and styles<\/li>\n<li>Make it quick: Schools have varying homework policies, but if your child does indeed have to do it, try to get it done promptly so as not to interfere with your family\u2019s quality time. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.school-for-champions.com\/grades\/zip_through_homework.htm#.Vur5730rJdg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ron Kurtus<\/a> has some great tips for zipping through homework assignments<\/li>\n<li>Make it an extracurricular activity: Instead of worrying about homework in the lower elementary grades, involve your children in family activities to boost their brainpower, like playing pretend, doing household chores and reading together before bed. Just setting aside time for conversations can be an incredibly valuable way to connect with your child. If it has to be done, homework can help facilitate family interaction and cut down on screen time. As work days get longer and face to face time diminishes, reconnecting at the kitchen table to complete homework can be a good thing<\/li>\n<li>Make it routine: Some kids work best when they first get home while others need to decompress and refuel. Find out what works best for your little learner and try to stick with a regular homework schedule<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As parents, we need to be vigilant and vocal. If homework is set too often, is tedious, uninteresting and takes hours to complete, don\u2019t hesitate to relay your concerns to your child\u2019s teacher. Be an advocate for your kids \u2013 you are more than qualified and know your child\u2019s limitations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a teacher and tutor for over 10 years, I have heard the statement \u201cI hate homework\u201d more often than I would like, and not just from students.
