I need advice about doing homework

[jaye614]

Do you teenagers follow a schedule in regards to homework - do you come right home and complete it? Do you have your parents look at it? I need some advice to give my daughter who is a freshman in high school.

my parents don't really involve themselves with my homework..i'm a junior and i have about 3-5 hours of homework per night.
If i know i have a lot of hard homework i'll start it right away but most of the time i just start it when i feel like it.

I come home from school ~4:00 because I have an extra class period. At this point, I am usually too tired to start homework right away; I need a break. I try to start my homework by 5, giving me an hour to get a snack and relax. Then I usually start homework and work at least until 9 every night, usually until 11 or later.

I don't follow a rigid schedule. One thing that is hard for me is that I tend to procrastinate, which makes for many late nights. You could help your daughter maybe by planning out in advance for projects and tests what she will do each night to prepare.

I get out of school at 12:00 and I always do my homework as soon as I get home. I've also done it as soon as I got home other years when I got out at 2:30. I just think it's so much easier to just do it and get it out of the way, so you have the rest of the day free and don't have to worry about it anymore.

I usually do mine after dinner, so around 7. The only reason I do that is because I don't get home until 6:30 every night, because I have sports. I make sure that I do as much as I can at school, so that I have time to DIS at night!

I'm usually really tired when I get home from school, so I wait and watch a little TV and maybe take a nap. Today I got home at 2, watched A Baby Story, slept until 4, then went to ballet class, came home at 7:30ish and had dinner - I started my homework around 8:30. I'm a senior at a small private school and since this is almost the end of the year for us I don't have too much to do homework-wise - I think if I had more work I would need to be more structured.

I have track after school so I don't get home til around quarter to 6. So after being at school from 7:15am until then, I really need a break! So i usually eat and watch tv for like 30 minutes or a half hour, and then I'll go get some work done. Then if I get my homework done before 10 at least, I usually have time do DIS a little bit!

I have NO schedule at all... if I have a lot of homework I try to start it as soon as I get home at 3:45 or 4. If I don't have a lot, I usually put it off until 5:30 or 6 and then do it until I go to bed. My parents usually don't help w/ my homework, but sometimes I'll have them read an essay for mistakes or ask me questions to help me study for a test.

i don't have a set shedule either. I also tend to procrastinate, which sometimes becomes a problem. i usually finish most hw during time i find during school, and just have studying and projects to do at home. This means i do actual at home work whenever i feel up to doing it (which is different each day, partly b/c my after-school shedule is different each day) b/c i think if ya want to do it youll do it better... and sometimes i wait untill 10 pm to start but either way i always get it done... i mean maybe its not the best system but it seems to work b/c im doin well in school... (all As) i think it just depends on the kid and i think it is best for the student to learn themselves and become independent..

Here's advice, DONT DO HOMEWORK. works for me.
