For some reason you’ve decided to homeschool. Is it because the curriculum of most public schools is unsatisfactory by your standards?

Tips for making homework less work for both kids and parents
(ARA) – Some parents are shocked when their first-grader comes home from school with homework. The reality is children are learning more at a younger age and take-home assignments are increasing. Parents play an important role in engaging children and providing a positive homework environment, but knowing what is best for kids can be as confusing as the assignments themselves.
