The presented article focuses on what should be done after the end of school days so that

students can retain what they have been learning in the course of the day. In response, I concur

with the ideas that the author argues for and against. The author suggests that a realistic

homework strategy is supposed to be the key topic in conferences involving teachers and parents

and in some back-to-school nights. Attending to homework should then be the case of learning,

and I agree that homework assists students to focus on what has been learned.

There is some feeling on the author’s suggestions indicating that children should be

encouraged to perform. Such encouragement can be done through arithmetic activities, writing

and reading so that by establishing a learning world around them, the children are assisted in

developing their skills. The author mentions that some parents select focused programs to give

their children an expressive after school experience. The chosen focus of ideas assist in fostering

children’s learning just like in the cases of practical writing, and my response agrees with taking

such actions. The only challenge in encouraging outside classroom learning is the provision of

the learning experiences to all children and in quality ways. The author then feels like equity

should be promoted in schools so that all children develop their creative ideas about learning and

continue with their education-related ongoing growth activities. Just like schools should support
good parenting, the author suggests that parents also need to focus on their children’s educational

issues as priorities at home.

I concur with the author’s ideas about aspects of good parenting and that they can be

established both in schools and at home. The activities to involve good parenting skills can be

improving social-emotional character development in children, and showing the value of

education to children. More include monitoring how children use and are exposed to electronic

media and making children’s continued learning with many opportunities for household related

routines. Homework versus no homework is then a wrong question that should be eliminated in

learning environments so that students continue learning even when outside school.
