| Do teachers assign homework to their students? |
ASW supports the balanced development of its students and takes a thoughtful and responsible approach to their educational progress. Therefore, all homework is completed on school premises, during designated hours, under the supervision of a teacher. This approach allows children to learn effectively in a supportive environment, while providing parents with the opportunity to make better use of their time together after school – for conversation, play, pursuing hobbies, and rest. ASW believes that strengthening family relationships and reducing the stress associated with homework positively impacts the emotional, social, and cognitive development of the child. |
