Tip #13
Dealing with homework you cannot complete
From time to time you may be totally stumped by a homework assignment.
If you find yourself in this situation you can try some of the following:
- Ask an adult (doesn't always work but at least let them know that you are
having a problem)
- Attempt the parts of the assignment that you can do and indicate to your
teacher (by writing it down) that you had a problem with a part of the homework.
- Make sure you keep a record of your difficulties in your homework workbook.
Your teacher will want to know what problems you had and what you tried to do
to solve the problem.
- Speak to your teacher about the problem you had - you will often find that
if you have attempted the work they are more than willing to listen.
- Don't get stressed out. Even the prime Minister gets stuck and has to ask
for help (in fact the prime Minister has a LOT of advisors - I bet he doesn't
have problems with his homework!).
- Try putting the work aside for a while, and attempting it later on. Sometimes
a good nights sleep will clear your head and you will find you can attempt the
work - and complete it.
- Ask a friend - keep a few phone numbers of school friends who would have
been set the same piece of homework. Ask them how they handled it.
