Homework reinforces the skills taught at school. It also gives you, the parent, an idea of your child's academic level. If you notice a problem with your child's homework (too hard, easy, one problem in particular was really struggled with, etc) then please always send in a note to let me know. Below is a link about how parents can help their kids be successful in school. I hope each of you gets to read the WHOLE article- it's got great information!!
