Is assigning parents homework an effective way to increase parental involvement?
by
Sara Bernard
Yes. Having parents complete homework puts parents in direct touch with their child's life at school and can open the lines of communication between parent and student.
Maybe, but it should not be made mandatory. A student's grade should not be affected by parents' actions.
No. Asking parents to do homework is only going to place additional burdens on parents without necessarily improving their relationship with their child, the school, or the teacher.
None of the above. (Comment below.)
