What can you do as a family? •       Provide encouragement

•       Help your child develop study skills at home (e.g. getting organized, breaking tasks into smaller parts)

•       Set up a space for homework

•       Help your child balance time spent on homework, extracurricular, and out-of-school activities (e.g. help them to set up a homework schedule)

•       Speak to your child’s teacher if they are struggling with their homework

Homework is a very important part of learning. Children in the lower elementary grades can expect to have a small amount  of homework each night. Students in upper elementary should expect between 30 minutes and one hour of homework on some nights.

You can help your child by providing a good space where they can complete homework. This should be a place with adequate lighting - free from distraction and with enough room for all the needed supplies. It is important to discuss homework with your child, and let them show you the work they have done.

On nights when there is "no" homework, children should still keep the routine of doing work. They would benefit from reading each night. Have your child read or share a favorite book with you. It is also important to review concepts covered in class. Help your child by having him or her explain a concept to you. Your child's teacher is always available to discuss this important topic with you.

NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — Fifty-five U.S. Coast Guard Academy cadets have been disciplined for sharing homework answers in violation of academy policy, Coast Guard officials announced.

After a series of disciplinary hearings, six of the cadets failed the course and 48 got lowered grades, officials said Wednesday.

The cadets were accused of cheating by sharing answers for two separate homework assignments electronically.

“The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, honor, and accountability,” said Capt. Edward Hernaez, commandant of the academy. “Misconduct like this undermines trust and those found to have violated our principles were held accountable for their actions.”

The cadets will be provided the opportunity to appeal the disciplinary actions, officials said.
