Homework

According to the Marzano research homework providing students with opportunities to increase their understanding through assignments completed outside of class.

For a lot of children homework may seem the hardest subject. Usually it is assigned to them in the earlier part of the day, so by the time they get home they have forgotten how to complete it. Another factor is that most children omit it when they get home so they can have more time watching t.v. or playing with friends. However, homework has a significant role in their education, most students and parents fail to realize that it affects their grade as test scores. Also, homework can be a powerful for tool for (a) letting parents and other adults know what the child is learning, (b) gicing children and parents a reason to talk about what's going on at school, and (c) giving teachers an opportunity to hear from parents about children's learning (Hoover-Dempsey).

=Parental Involvement= When a child gets home and prepares to do the homework, it helps if there is a parent there to assist. Most children need extra help with their school work and a lot of times parents are unavailable to assist them. Parental envolovment plays a major part in how well a child does on their work and how well they act in school. Research has proved that parent involvement can either have a positive or neagtive impact, and could be used to help speed up a child's learning.However, parents need to becare not ot confuse the child. If the subject techniques are different fromthose the parent used it could interfere with the childs learning. (How Parents Can Help)
