“…In addition to considering the impact of homework on families, teachers can minimize some of the potential homework-completion problems between parents and their children by providing parents with recommendations for assisting their children with their homework, including communicating with teachers, giving feedback to their children, using praise and positive reinforcement, employing motivational techniques and incentive programs, establishing a schedule and an environment that is conducive to completing homework, teaching their children to use self-management techniques, coping with frustration and resistance, and refraining from doing homework for their children (Kay et al, 1994;Landers, 1984;Mims et al, 1991;Salend & Schliff, 1988). Teachers also can give parents a checklist to monitor and guide their children's homework and work habits (Clary, 1986).…”

Whether students with mild disabilities are educated in mainstreamed general education classes or special education settings, it is likely that they will be assigned homework by their teacher(s). assignment of homework can affect their school performance and the grades they receive in their classes. however, because of a variety of factors, many students with mild disabilities experience difficulty completing their homework. this article presents educators with guidelines for increasing the homework completion rates of students with mild disabilities, including (a) varying the amount and type of homework assignments, (b) providing motivating acts so that students complete their homework, (c) using peermediated strategies, (d) establishing and following homework routines, (e) teaching strategies to improve students' study and organizational skills, and (f) involving parents in the homework process.

Over 300 parents from two infant/primary schools responded to a survey concerning parent-child conflict associated with homework. Results show that 1 in 4 parents report that there is a substantial amount of tension concomitant with homework and that for many the problem is not transient but has been present for a long time. The implications of these findings on the benefit of homework as a learning activity, and also on the effect such conflict may have on the parent-child relationship, are discussed.
