Homework Help from A Fellow Sufferer!

I am a parent, teacher and educational consultant, and I feel your pain!

As a parent, I have watched my daughter cry over a science fair project. I have seen my seven year-old son try to choose between going to taekwondo practice or stay home and do another silly math sheet. I have stood at the bottom of the stairs and demanded that my daughter put down her homework and join the rest of the family for Thanksgiving Dinner.

As a teacher, I have assigned homework, collected homework, corrected homework and graded homework. I have punished students for not turning in their homework. I have listened to fantastic homework excuses and I have heard legitimate reasons why doing homework is simply not feasible for many families.

As an educational consultant and speaker, I hear over and over again that parents are tired of fighting with their children over homework- and having to sit there with them while they do it. Parents tell me that because of homework, their children don't have time for sports and clubs, they no longer like to read and they hate school. Mothers and fathers worry that all their children will remember about their childhoods is nagging about homework. I hear parents of both high school students and kindergarteners complain that their kids "just need to focus!"

Oh, believe me, I know all about the Homework Struggle! I have lived through it, studied it, written about it, talked about it, and, through this website, I am sharing what I have learned through my own and others' experiences.
