Homework Policyby
Chan K.P. (Deputy Principal)
Homework
is defined as any work planned or approved by the teacher to be completed by the
student. Learning is a process composed of “understanding” and
“practicing”. Doing homework is a vital process since it is the time for
students to practise on the knowledge they learn in class. Through homework, students can improve their skills in the subject area, reinforce the knowledge and develop self-motivation, responsibility and independence. Most of all, homework can be a tool to enhance home/school communication and provide for increased curriculum understanding. To
achieve all these, students in Delia (Broadway) will not be alone. Numerous
measures are adopted to make doing homework a meaningful and joyful task.
Our
school would also like to ask parents to: 1.
Be familiar with the school's homework policy. 2.
Help their children set a regular homework time each day, free of other
responsibilities, and remain with that commitment. 3.
Provide a place to work and study that is quiet, properly lighted and equipped
with necessary basic materials. 4.
Limit television viewing and avoid television or radio listening during study
time. 5.
Show interest in their children's homework by encouraging them to do their best. 6.
Encourage their children to complete assignments independently. 7.
Discuss and review homework assignments with their children to become aware of what
they are studying. 8.
Provide feedback to the teacher regarding problems, such as time,
difficulty, and progress.
