Homework and practice are connected in a context when students learn on their own and apply the knowledge they have gained in the subject. The quantity of homework that is assigned to the student should increase as the students get older. The purpose of assigning the homework should be articulated and identified. The involvement of parents should be kept to a minimum while the student is attempting to do the homework. If a homework is assigned there should be a feedback. Right amount of homework can be calculated as follows:

Elementary level 30 – 40 minutes
Middle level 50 – 60 minutes
High School 120 minutes

Research has proved that there are negative effects when parents help their children with their homework. Establish a schedule for completing the homework. Encourage and motivate your child but do not sit with them to do the homework. A homework policy has to be communicated while assigning homework. Clearly mention the purpose and outcome. The approaches to feedback should vary. Mastering the skills require a fair amount of practice. During practice a student should adapt and understand what they have learned. During the practice chart your speed and accuracy. Focus on assignments that have specific elements of a process or complex skill. Plan your time to understand the process and acquire the skills required.
