By_____________________________ (Parent)
By_____________________________ (Student)
Special notes:
Use this contract as a guideline for creating one that fits your family's needs. Be sure to review your contract from time to time in case it needs to be revised to meet new conditions. Begin using this contract when your children enter school. Then studying at home becomes a lifestyle -- not a life adjustment -- for older children.
Expect first-graders to study 10 minutes each day. Then add 10 minutes to the homework time for each additional year of schooling as a rough guide for the amount of time that should be allotted for studying at home. High-school students should be expected to do at least 30 minutes of homework per day for each subject. Some of this work may be done at school. Students may elect to do their homework in one or more daily sessions. Instead of specifying definite times for homework each day, parent and student may agree that all homework is to be completed by a specified time, unless there are certain exceptions.
