I very much agree with Chaim

B’H we have 7 children ranging from Pre1a to High School.
for a couple of years we were not on top of their homework.

That changed, when recently 2 teachers at PTC mentioned that the kids were not turning in their homework, and they suggest we start doing the homework with the children.

We started immediately. Now my wife and I spend less than 20 minutes a few days a week doing home work.

The results is very rewarding. We get nachas, on a daily basis!

For all these children, it sends a message, that we take their school work seriously.
