Resolving Struggling Learners' Homework Difficulties: Working with Elementary School Learners and Parents
Margolis, Howard
Preventing School Failure, v50 n1 p5 Fall 2005
Struggling learners and their parents often are exasperated by homework. They find it difficult, frustrating, and laborious, producing resistance, slipshod work, stress at home, and conflicts between struggling learners, parents, and school personnel. The author (1) identifies several causes of struggling learners' homework difficulties, (2) explains how teachers can help struggling learners in elementary school succeed with homework and help parents who want to help their child with homework, and (3) explains how elementary school teachers can use listening and problem solving to secure parents' cooperation and jointly solve complex homework difficulties.
