Evidence: “A groundbreaking studypublished last January by two universityprofessors, called The Broken Compass:Parental Involvement With Children'sEducation, found that kids who gotextensive help from their parents scoredworse on standardized tests than kids whomanaged homework on their own.(Goldstein, "Don't Help Your Kids WithHomework")”

Evidence: “Once kids

enter middle school,

parental help with

homework can actually

bring test scores down,

an effect could be

caused by the fact that

many parents started

doing all the homework

and telling them all the

right answers for you

and you don’t learn

anything.(Goldstein,

"Don't Help Your Kids

With Their Homework")”

Evidence:"Do you review your daughter’s

homework every night? Robinson and

Harris’s data, published in The Broken

Compass: Parental Involvement With

Children’s Education, show that this won’t

help her score higher on standardized

tests."(Goldstein, Don't Help Your Kids With

Homework).

Well that is just as bad! Will the teachercheck your test, your STAAR test, yourstandardized test? No! So even if you askfor your parents to check your homeworkjust know it will not help it will hurt.
