Homework+&+Practice

=Homework & Practice= ==
 * Homework and practice** give students the chance to deepen their understanding of content and to gain proficiency with their skills. It also allows them to practice and review what they have learned outside the classroom. Despite its benefits, homework remains controversial. Research shows that the amount of homework assigned should vary by grade level and that parent involvement should be minimal. Teachers should clearly explain the purpose of the homework to both the student and the parent, and teachers should try to give feedback on all homework assigned.
