  10. Homework Expectations Homework is a integral component of a child’s educational development. Children learn discipline, pacing, and how to set good study habits. Homework is to be a reflection of the work done in school during the day, and then reinforced and practiced at home. Make certain your child has a quiet environment to work. Homework is to be done every evening with this thought in mind: • It is done neatly • It is completed or at least attempted • It is signed by a parent
