SUMMARY - Supporting Homework
A parent sits with their child struggling through math homework, uncertain whether to help more or let them struggle. Another works evening shifts and can't be present for homework time. Another doesn't understand the methods being taughtâtheir child's way of solving problems looks nothing like what they learned. Parent involvement in homework is expected but complicatedâby time, by knowledge, by different learning contexts, and by ongoing debate about homework's value itself.
