HOMEWORK PHILOSOPHY
(SCHOOL BOARD
POLICY #130) |
 |
Homework is a recommended practice.
It becomes an essential
part of the total education of the student when it provides the
opportunity for the student to:
|
- Reinforce learning
through the practice, application, integration, and/or extension of
knowledge and skills.
- Develop study skills,
work habits, and a sense of personal responsibility so that the
student may become an independent learner.
- Use school and
community resources.
- Develop
self-discipline.
|
| Ideally,
homework should enhance the intellectual development of a child and create
and broaden desirable interests and habits. It should reinforce the
pupil's mastery of skills, extend his fund of worthwhile knowledge,
encourage creative use of his/her abilities and increase his/her
appreciation of the world in which he/she lives. Homework should be
an outgrowth of an extension of meaningful classroom experiences. |
