My Homework Reminder
My Homework Reminder âMinerals have crystal systems which are defined by the # of axis and the length of the axis that intersect the crystal faces.â Thatâs how the notes start, and they only get murkier after that. When I ask Esmee what this actually means, she gives me her homework credo. The A+ Club from School4Schools.com LLC, based in Arlington, VA, is dedicated to helping students across the U.S.A. meet their goals and find the academic success the want and deserve. It can only help you, just like how one more time in sports increases performance, your brain, memory, and willpower benefit from repetition. Doing your homework helps you to identify what you do and do not know.Doing your homework helps you to identify your needs. To expose students to something that will be discussed and reinforced in class. The rest of the students get left behind and lost. There are many more important things in high school than grades, but, in general, nothing has as much impact upon your future. The hardship of too much homework pales in comparison with the McCourt familyâs travails. Still, because we are sharing our copy ofAngelaâs Ashes, I end up going to bed an hour after Esmee. The co-op board meetsâ"and over my objections makes me secretaryâ"before I can start on Esmeeâs homework. It is now time for me to struggle with Earth Science. The textbook Esmeeâs class is using is simply calledEarth Scienceand was written by Edward J. Tarbuck and Frederick K. Lutgens. âThe termsynergisticapplies to the combined efforts of Tarbuck and Lutgens,â says the biographical note at the beginning. By late afternoon, I am tired after filing a magazine article on deadline. When I arrive home, a few minutes ahead of Esmee, I consider delaying my week of homework, but then I realize that Esmee can never put off her week of homework. That is the advice of my 13-year-old daughter, Esmee, as I struggle to make sense of a paragraph of notes for an upcoming Earth Science test on minerals. explore ideas, information, and advice on students, teen parenting, teachers and teaching, and academics in general. Look, I know it sucks to have to do stupid things you donât want to do. If theyâre not where they could be, then letâs talk about doing some more homework. Doing your homework gives you exposure to learning and enables you to have success in a subject that you may not have known at age 15 was important to you at age 25. However, you will learn a few things in high school that will have a huge impact on your life, that are life-changing. In general, learning is probably one of the least impactful pieces of the high school experience on your life. I canât remember much of anything that I learned in high school. Doing homework leads to more learning which leads to better grades. If you want to improve your grades, try on some homework! So, instead of judging your homework, listen to your teacher through the homework and the expectations it sets from your teacher. Read moreTeachers give homework for some good and some bad reasons. Too bad youâre not the teacher, so you canât decide. Read moreThere is no single other larger measurement of your high school experience than your GPA. It opens or closes doors and will never change once you have graduated . See below for some important reasons why you probably should be doing your homework. It would be to be more confident about doing homework. My older daughterâs homework load this evening is just seven algebra equations, studying for a Humanities test on industrialization, and more Earth Science. After a few minutes, replies started coming in from parents along the lines of âThank God, we thought we were the only ones,â âOur son has been up until 2am crying,â and so forth. Half the classâs parents responded that they thought too much homework was an issue. The teacher was unmoved, saying that she felt the homework load was reasonable. If Esmee was struggling with the work, then perhaps she should be moved to a remedial class. I sneak in and grab her copy ofAngelaâs Ashesand catch up on my reading, getting all the way to page 120.
