It‘s an annual back-to-school routine. One morning you wave goodbye, and that_71_ evening you‘re burning the late-night oil in sympathy. In the race to improve educational standards, _72_ are throwing the books at kids. _73_ elementary school students are complaining of homework _74_ . What‘s a well-meaning parent to do As hard as _75_ may be, sit back and chill, experts advise. Though you‘ve got to get them to do it, 76 helping too much, or even examining _77_ too carefully, you may keep them _78_ doing it by themselves. "I wouldn‘t advise a parent to check every _79_ assignment," says psychologist John Rosemond, author Of Ending the Tough Homework. "There‘s a 80 of appreciation for trial and error. Let your children _81_ the grade they deserve."
Many experts believe parents should gently look over the work of younger children and ask them to rethink their _82_. But "you don‘t want them to feel it has to be _83_ ," she says.
That‘s not to say parents should _84_homework --first, they should monitor how much homework their kids _85_.

For junior-high students it should be " _87_mom than an hour and a half," and two for high-school students. If your child 88 has mom homework than this, you may want to check _89_ other parents and then talk to the teacher about _90_assignment.
