  Homework Tips for Parents by the U.S. Department of Education
Homework has been a part of students’ lives since the beginning of formal schooling in the United States.  However, the practice has sometimes been accepted and other times rejected, both by educators and parents. This  has happened because homework can have both positive and negative effects on children's learning and attitudes toward school.
