Thank you for visiting my website and being involved in your son's or daughter's success!
As a rule of thumb, your son or daughter should be studying or developing their practical skills at least 15 minutes per night per subject in grade 9 (for a total of 1 hour), 30 minutes per night per subject in grade 10 (for a total of 2 hours), etc. Many students do not dedicate this amount of time, and this is, without a doubt, the leading reason what students do not reach their true potential.
On this website you will find daily schedules for each of my classes, with deadlines and links to assignments or resources. Here are classes I am teaching this semester:
I don't assign too much homework beyond the normal classwork, but if I do, it will be posted on the Recent Announcements page. If you are wondering what software can be used to do many of the assignments at home, you can visit my Software for Home Use page which lists lots of software, all of it free. If you have not already done so, contact the office and ask to have your email address registered. That way I can email you regular marks updates for your child. If the semester is already underway, it may be better to contact me directly with your email address.
A note about marks: It is better to look at the individual assignment marks rather than the overall average. Often the average will be artificially low because I initially post assignments with a "zero" for each student. I do this to remind students of the assignments they still have to do. Also, the average during the first four weeks of the course may fluctuate wildly due to the low number of evaluated items. Again, it is better to look at the individual assignment marks rather than the average.
Lastly, feel free to contact me anytime about your son's or daughter's progress. The more you are involved in your child's education, the better they will do.
