Homework, domework! But ya gotta do it, right? Either that or pay the price for not. So as long as doing it is the only good option, how about I show you some ways to get it done faster, easier, and learn something at the same time. I mean that’s supposedly the reason we have homework in the first place – to learn something.

Tip #1 is amazingly simple, but you gotta do it first, and every day!

WRITE YOUR ASSIGNMENTS DOWN

I know, that seems so lame doesn’t it? But if a kid doesn’t know exactly what he’s supposed to do for the homework, it’s like playing wii blindfolded.

SO, if the teacher gives you a printed homework sheet, make sure you get it in your backpack and home. If you get verbal instructions, write, write, write. And if you’re not absolutely sure what the assignments is, ask for a repeat.

Hint: asking a teacher to repeat an assignment not only gets you the info you need, but you get bonus points with the teacher for showing how diligent you are. Just make sure the dog doesn’t eat your homework before you get on the bus the next morning, or you lose the bonus points
