done homework

Doing homework can be both time-consuming and frustrating, and life is more than just homework. Here are a few tips to get your homework done fast, efficient and without distractions. It is also important that you pay attention in class and ask plenty of questions. Edit Steps Plan out how long it should take to get the assignment done. Don't let yourself waste time, because it never comes back. Set a schedule for yourself and make every effort to follow it. REMEMBER: time can never return! Don't leave yourself with regrets later. If its a project make sure you don't procrastinate. Gather supplies and bring them to a quiet work space. Try working at a table or desk, but don't go to your bedroom,because it can make you lazy or distracted. If you do go to your bedroom make sure it is clean and your bed is made. Make sure there is good lighting available, and that you will have everything from pencils to calculators to complete your homework. Ask your parents and siblings to give you privacy. That way it will make you comfortable. Remove any sources of distraction. This means shutting off your cell phone, logging off your computer (unless you will need it for your homework), turning off the television and closing the door.

Administrators explained their decision by pointing to the large majority of students who lacked at-home resources to help them with their homework. Anywhere between 65%-75% of each school’s student body qualify for free or reduced lunch programs, so it was  decided that students should not be singled out for failing to adequately complete take-home assignments. “We don’t want kids to be unfairly penalized for their work because they don’t have the resources or support they need at home,” explained Randy Clark, Fentress County Schools’ Curriculum and Instruction Supervisor. “Our new motto for assignments is ‘review and preview.” That means that homework in the district now constitutes an ungraded review or preview of current course work that’s the students’ responsibility to independently complete. Spelling words, vocabulary practice, and study guides for testing all fall under this purview. The Great Homework Debate Some educators aren’t fans of the new policy. Tammy Linder, a sixth grade teacher at Allardt Elementary School, is one of them. “Students have not had that daily homework practice in any subject that keeps the concepts ‘alive’ and moving in their brains, so that means that much of the practice time and teaching time and testing time had to come during the class time each day,” Linder says. Still, other districts across the country are taking second looks at the practice. The principal of Gaithersburg Elementary in Maryland decided to ask students to spend only 30 minutes in the evening reading.
