...of his points. 1. Homework- I agree with Mr. Haskell on this subject, my boyfriend has two old kids twelve and ten when they are at our house (every other week) homework is the first thing they have to do when they get home. I double check some of it and I am always getting updates from PowerSchool to let me know their progress. A lot of the times they have to make up homework that they didn't do at their other house so we are always playing catch up. I strongly agree when he says that homework is more to see which parents are involved with making sure its getting done. I think teachers should focus more on getting work done in class instead of making sure that they have something to do at home. I do understand that technology is taking over but the fact that teachers allow kids to text in class I also strongly disagree with, if that's the case they should be doing...

...The practice of giving private tuitions and teaching students in coaching classes in shifts is increasing day by day in India. The parents of the Indian boys and girls are mostly of the view that their wards can only get better knowledge only by tuitions and different coaching classes, which are generally run of the working teachers of colleges, universities and unemployed educated youth. It is my personal experience that even teachers teaching in lower classes i.e. from primary to junior high school advise the parents of the students that their wards could only get through in home examinations and would be able to secure good marks if are taught by their own teachers, either way of tuitions or coaching. The candidates preparing for different competitive examinations are lured by different coaching institutions. The main aim of these coaching institutions is to earn maximum profit and they do not care to educate the candidates to acquire detailed knowledge of subjects. These institutes only prepare the candidates keeping in view the fourth coming examinations. PRIVATE TUTIONS: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES Parents are worried that their children are unable to cope with school work. As such, they hire private tutors to coach them or send them to tuition centers for extra lessons. Private tuitions can be advantageous. Sometimes students are unable to concentrate during lessons for various reasons, such as distractions, not feeling well or explanation gaps. Therefore, students...

...by allowing some of the homework assignments to be developed by the class as they go along. In the 7th and 8th grade students are becoming more social and this gives them to opportunity to work together to come up with creative homework solutions. This not only allows them to be engaged in the class but also with each other and keeps a relaxed and pleasant work environment (Wong, 1998). Mr. Collet also encourages self-motivation by having the students keep a day planner and to be responsible for copying their homework assignments down rather than having it handed to them. In the 7th and 8th grade students begin preparing for college and by teaching them early to set aside study time by keeping a planner builds good habits for the rest of their education (Savage, 2009). They have a concrete manner in which to copy homework assignments but also to manage their free time which may be less and less as they get older and participate in more activities. Mr. Collet encourages active engagement in his class by working with the students on their day planner, picking up and turning in assignments on time and by giving them an opportunity to dispute and grading mistakes. In the 7th and 8th grade students are becoming more independent and building study skills that they will use later on. By working with them on their day planners, the teacher can show the students how to manage their time. Since they are also using their planners to copy down homework assignments, the students...

...do their homework right after school. Maybe they think good study habits mean kids should study in the same quiet place every day. Maybe they think that you should sit still until all your work is done.Well, parents aren't always right!A lot of new research shows that the usual ways of studying may not always be the best ways. Different kids study best in different ways. Here are some twists on study tips and good study habits. You just have to figure out what works for you. Study Tip: Move Before You Study Maybe your mom or dad tells you to do your homework as soon as you get off the bus. Ask if you can shoot hoops or run for 15 or 20 minutes first. Explain that you're not trying to put off your work. It's just that exercising your body may help your brain.Kids in a Chicago-area school do PE first if they're having problems with math or reading. They do much better on tests after they exercise. Moving before you do homework can help get your brain ready to study. Study Tip: Pick Your Study Spot Your parents may have set up a great desk in a quiet room. But you feel better doing homework on the floor in the living room or in your bedroom. The important thing is to find a place where you'll pay attention.Your bedroom might give you privacy. That's great if you have annoying brothers or sisters. But if you start looking at the stuff in your room instead of your math problems, find another place to work. It may even help kids study better when they do homework in different...

...Teachers are always wondering why kids are not paying attention or why they're falling asleep during class, What teachers don’t understand is that students might be too tired, or unengaged?

...graduated from high school and passed the Standard Academic Test. Your application to college has been accepted and it’s your first day at class. It is most likely you will encounter three types of college students on your campus. The three types of college students are usually called the jocks, the nerds, and the normal people. The reason for this essay is to clear up some concepts regarding the three types of college students. One group, The Jocks, is the show-off type of people who puts off their homework assignments until the last minute. Once the assignment is completed at the last minute, the assignment is usually scored a low grade. The reason for this is because the jocks are always partying, going out on dates, or having fun with their sorority. The jocks wear anything to include torn jeans/shirts, work down sneakers or boots and cheap, expensive-looking jacket. The second group, known campus-wide, is the nerds because they are obsessed with books, constantly studying and learning about their interests. The nerds are usually annoying with their obnoxious laughter regarding a really stupid joke. The nerds wear a nice shirt with a bow tie, or a tie and a nicely ironed dress pants and always has a pocket protector to prevent ink stains from their pens. The nerd spends their school night with a tight schedule for recreation, school homework, and learning new things that captures their interests.

...Effective Study Habits and Study Skills Mean Good Grades Now Effective study habits and study skills lead to good grades. One can, also, reward students for better grades. However, never forget that making learning fun so children discover learning is fun will create the most return over the long term, as far as learning and better grades are concerned. For more information pertaining to good grades, click here. Although effective study skills and study habits result in better grades, do you know what effective study habits and study skills are? They are regular, consistent study habits that good students use every time they prepare for a test or do homework. In this section, effective study habits and study skills that help primary school students get good grades will be emphasized. Effective study habits are learned at home. Parenting means teaching our children these skills and making them habits. Study skills are so important to improving grades that some think grades really measure how well parents teach their children to study, particularly in the primary grades. The purpose of this section is to help parents teach their children effective study habits, not only to improve good grades, but to make education easier and, even, enjoyable. Despite the fact effective study habits are, largely, a discipline we instill in our children, we must always bear in mind that learning through play inspires children to learn more. So, any opportunity...

...Name: Nguyen Thu Trang Class: 14E12 _____________________________________________________________ WRITING ASSIGNMENT Version 01 Task: To what extend do you agree with the statement: “School is bad for students?” Support your claims with appropriate grounds and warrants. People may think that children must go to school; thus, almost children go to school every day (this sentence has a problem in how you express the idea) However, arguments have persisted as to whether school is good (can be replaced by 'beneficial') for children or not. Although there are convincing argument on both sides, I strongly believe that it is bad for children because school not only prevents children’s creativeness, but also has negative impacts on children’s (their) health. Most of (omit) educators claim that school is encouraging children to be individual and different (how does school encourage children to be individual and different? I think you should clarify this a little bit); nevertheless, it is a fact that school is crushing (stifle/ inhibit) kids’ creativeness ( can replaced by 'creativity' to avoid repetition) by asking almost (virtually) all of them to do the same things and not accepting creative children’s characteristics. The majority of students are cast in the same mould made by educators, thinking that model is standard for people who children will be. (express in a clearer way). These acts (not suitable) are the root of being not interested in exploring new ideas or...

...Four Basic Principles to Enhance Study Skills 1. Make doing homework a positive experience: associate it with love and affection, freedom, fun and self-control. 2. Make homework a high priority. 3. Use homework to teach organization skills and improve learning skills. Remember that the primary purpose of homework is to improve learning and foster work habits. 4. Set expectations for homework, then provide and enforce logical, meaningful consequences if those expectations are not met. Make Doing Homework a Positive Experience • Provide support and praise for homework completion. • Be available to provide non-critical assistance. • Give children choice in when, where, and how they complete homework assignments. • Encourage your children to complete homework well enough that they have a sense of pride and control over their own learning and levels of competence. • Maintain a positive and helpful attitude: avoid criticism and anger. • Help children understand what types of homework they enjoy, and encourage them to choose assignments accordingly. When given a choice, some students prefer written reports; others prefer hands-on projects. • Use homework preferences in developing a homework schedule. Some children prefer to complete the assignments they like least first, while others prefer to do their easier or favorite work first. • If a child dislikes a subject, find ways to make it less frustrating. For example, set a goal of doing five math problems and...
