Research suggests that homework might not be as beneficial as we once thought, especially for struggling learners. For them, homework time can affect their confidence and cause more problems than help. Meeting with a child's teacher is the best place to start. Consider asking the teacher about the purpose of the homework, discuss your child's behavior at home during homework time, and advocate for differentiated work. Partner with the teacher to think outside the box for ways to make homework productive and confidence boosting. Suggestions may include the student creating his or her own homework assignments.
