What kind of homework does your 1st grader have?
Q. I have a 1st grader; however, his school does not give homework. Is this normal? Also what kind of homework are your kids bringing in, those of you with first graders?

A. well...how does the opinion of a 1st grade teacher sound? something that i do differently compared to most classes, is that i send home a packet of homework each monday, and expect it to be returned on friday. the kids then have a whole week to pace themselves. not to mention it is easier for them to keep track of an actual packet vs single slips of paper. we have 6 new spelling words each week, and i expect the kids to write each word 5 times, and to write a sentence with each...they need to write a journal entry (3-5 sentences) about what we are covering in science or social studies...i ask that they read (or be read to) for 10-15 minutes every night...they also put a list of 10-15 words in ABC order...and i also send home 2 math… [cont.]

How much homework can I expect my kids to have when they get in school?
Q. I never had much home work and I didn't do what homework I did get sent home with. My wife was recently helping our nephew with his homework every night after school. She stopped keeping him now. But the boy had at least 2 to 3 hours of homework every night. I think , he was not utilizing his time properly at school. But when my kids get into school , how much homework should I expect them to have?

A. It really depends on the teacher, grade, and school! Ours is in Kindergarten and she has no homework, but a friend of ours son who was in Kindergarten at a different school. (Both schools only about 10 miles apart), got at least 2 hours of homework a night. It was ridiculous. I think it should be how my teacher phrased it in high school, that homework should never take you more than an hour unless your slacking. But I think some teachers now a days are putting a lot more pressure on the kids. So when your kids get into school I would talk to the teacher if you feel they are getting to much homework, it really will take a toll on your child. *My friends kid hated school because he'd get home at 3, do homework till 6 and then… [cont.]

What is the deal with the homework questions?
Q. Obviously I'm not the only one asking this question, but for those of you who have been on longer than I have, did this happen last year? I mean, is this a cyclical thing? We just got done with all those summer reading questions and now it's homework! Maybe I'm old school but honestly I didn't go to strangers with my homework problems--I worked them out on my own or with study groups. Where's the growth in having the answers told to you? And what makes you think you're going to get the right answer anyway--maybe someone's just answering with the wrong answer to mess with you.

A. Well, I look at it this way. I don't mind helping people on YA even if it's homework, just as long as they have a legitimate question and not just lazy. For instance, why would someone ask about a chapter in a book when they can simply read it for themselves? To me that's lazy. Now if someone doesn't understand something about the chapter and the way it's worded, that's a totally other question indeed. We do have older people on the YA sidelines, and like myself have a lot of information to share about things we learned in life. There are a few younger ones, too, who are pretty intelligent as well.

A. I have found that it often isn't the grade, it is the school. Some schools emphasize "study hall" or a "study period" where students can work on homework. (Especially in schools where athletics are pushed.) This is great for students who otherwise would be too busy for schoolwork or don't have a good home environment to focus. Some teachers "allow" students to choose whether to work on homework at school. This is when you see the students' personality come out - some will tackle homework to be done, others will read instead and take homework home. Outside of school reading time - do your kids read in the car? Count That. Is the time based on a week? Divide up the total time for that week. My kids are now 23, 17, 11. We've… [cont.]

Try and stay positive. Make it a habit to get into. Try and do your homework first thing when you get home that way it is done and then you can plan out the rest of the evening. Good luck!

How much homework should I be doing everyday?

If you're repeating something over and over again though and you already know it perfectly, and you're just doing it to please your teacher, don't. Just do enough to learn it, and a bit more to reinforce it, then the rest either don't do or don't put much effort into. What does it matter if you're teacher doesn't like you for doing that, if you do well at tests they can't drop you or anything. And you're in year 10, so lots of teachers probably don't check it and tell you to be responsible for your own learning.. coz its..yawn.. i forget the rest... its just a blessing if their like that.

How can I stop getting distracted whilst doing my homework?
Q. When I'm doing my homework, I usually need to use my laptop. The problem is that I always get distracted by Bebo or MSN. I also think of other things that I could be doing. Even when I turn off Bebo and MSN, I just get bored easily. How can I do my homework whilst staying keen at the same time?
Asked by Clart - Mon Sep 15 13:51:01 2008 - - 8 Answers - 1 Comments
A. what you need to do is simply turn your internet connection off when you are not using it for research or whatever. That way there is no way you can turn bebo or MSN on without having an error message. Another good idea would be to schedule your days, think a week in advance of when you are now, what homework has to be done, how long will it take. Then allocate homework to different parts of the days to work around your lifestyle. Also make sure to get out plenty in between doing this. A more calm, relaxed and socialized mind is always a better one to use in your work. Just remember, when doing your homework do not open MSN and talk to people whilst doing it, and often, absolute silence is best for working and concentrating.

A. You don't have to do homework right after school...you can take a break or rest for a while, or even eat dinner first, then get to work after an hour. Once you start, make sure you finish the job! If you can, finish everything before playing, but if not, try to fit whatever you can in an hour or so, then take a break and continue it when you can. Also, try not to find excuses to escape doing homework- tell yourself that once its over, you're free. Haha. Whatever you decide to do to make yourself do school stuff, make sure you stick to that...Hope you get to doing well soon!=)

A. You don't have to do homework right after school...you can take a break or rest for a while, or even eat dinner first, then get to work after an hour. Once you start, make sure you finish the job! If you can, finish everything before playing, but if not, try to fit whatever you can in an hour or so, then take a break and continue it when you can. Also, try not to find excuses to escape doing homework- tell yourself that once its over, you're free. Haha. Whatever you decide to do to make yourself do school stuff, make sure you stick to that...Hope you get to doing well soon!=)

How can i get more motivated to do my homework?
Q. I can't be bothered to do my homework, or study any more. Most nights I get home from school and don't get anything done, then feel guilty about it later. My assignments are constantly left to the night before they are due. I always tell myself that im going to change these habits, but i never do. What are your tips for getting homework done, studying, avoiding procrastination, getting motivated to do school work, and planning my time wisely. Im a girl in juniour year at high school.

A. Youtube some videos on the topics covered in class. Do a search online and watch a related movie then get your books out and be ready to dive in. As soon as you get home empty your backpack out onto your bed and always have your bed clean before going to sleep. Be sure to apply what you are learning to things that are going on in life at the time. Ask and see what others have to say on the topic. Have a study party on Sundays where you and 5 other friends gather to do leftover homework together. And don't turn to food or other things outside the home when you have homework to do. Just put the important fun first, homework second, and food and outings last. Good luck and many blessings to you.You have already identified a need: motivation.… [cont.]

How can I stay motivated to do homework?
Q. I have a lot of homework to complete, but don't know how to stay motivated. What should I do? How should I prioritize my time? Any advice is greatly welcomed and appreciated!

A. First of all your computer should not be on unless you are typing an essay... no music and no eating or T.V... Start from the subject you had first then work your way down as a way to keep track... give yourself a time limit for each assignment so that you have the want to finish before that time.. so hopefully you get everything done well and fast... Good luck with your homework... After you read this you should get off and start working :)

How long does it take you to finish homework and finish studying for all tests?
Q. Also, I know this isn't normal, but I usually takes me five hours to do homework and an aditional four hours of studying after school (I'm sophomore by the way and as a result get 4 A's and 2 -A's). I don't get how other smart people spend time on schoolwork far less than me and get straight A's. How do they do it?

How much homework do you usually have per night or week?
Q. And what grade are you in? I'm a sophomore this year, and I'm just buried in homework. I'm taking all honors courses, but it's so much work one week, and then no work another week. It's killing my soul, I swear.

How relieved do you feel when you finish your homework ahead of time?
Q. For the first time in two months I've actually gotten homework done before the time it's due. Granted, it's online homework due at exactly 2:05 a.m. tomorrow morning but still. I'm early. It is such an awesome relief. Maybe this will motivate me to get the rest of my homework done on time? Ehh, it was worth a shot. I'm off for some pie. How relieved are you when you finish your homework ahead of time? Or when you get anything done ahead of time?

A. Yes! I feel really proud of myself when I finish homework on time, like a heavy brick has been lifted off my head. Sadly, it's a rarity. I once studied TWO days in advance for my math test. It was such a relief not to be cramming the night before/morning of, and it was the best test I've done this year. But this week I've been cramming, falling asleep at my desk, procrastinating, and skipping classes to finish assignments/study. Glad tomorrow's Friday.

How can I concentrate better when doing homework on the computer?
Q. Whenever I do homework on the computer, I always find myself getting distracted by things like myspace, games, and such. It's really difficult to get my homework done in a timely manner. Like I'm trying my best to not get distracted, but I eventually do. I've already tried downloading a site blocker add on for Firefox, but that still doesn't work too well.. I've tried listening to music while doing homework, still nothing. Helppp
