Articles on Homework and Study Skills for parents, students, teachers, and other educators. "Homework is work assigned to be completed by the assignee at home or while not attending class. The term is generally used to refer to primary or secondary school assignments as opposed to college-level coursework. In the US, students enrolled in Advanced Placement or AP courses are generally given twice the amount of homework than students not taking these courses. These AP courses are college level courses for High School students run by the College Board that give college credit to high school students.
Many students find homework to be an undue burden, while schools and teachers generally insist that it is necessary to practice new skills and to better learn material. Some students see the need for homework, however most students are opposed to "busywork". therefore many students complain about homework." Source: Wikipedia.

How Should We Learn?
Have you ever wondered how we learn? Why are some people able to achieve tremendous success while others receive mediocre results although both groups receive the same learning materials? Was it because these successful people are smarter or more talented than the rest of us?
Well, the answer to the last question is NO! Some of us lamented that the lucky ones just have better brains than the rest of us. But do you know that all of us basically have th

Before resorting to bribery or grounding-neither of which holds much promise-go on a fact-finding mission to uncover what test-taking strategies, if any, are already in place. For instan

By Robert Seiler
How can you tell how effectively you're studying? What I'm about to tell you can really turn your grades around if you can get your head around it. Don't pass it off as something simple and perhaps not worth thinking about because I believe it's one of the easiest ways to improve your grades if you bother to make it a part of how you study.
