Children are assisted by their teachers to form healthy and productive work habits, ranging from organization to establishing regular study habits and homework routines. Teachers are encouraged to set and evaluate regular homework tasks. In earlier grades these tasks will be minimal but regular. This process lays the foundation of good work habits which will prove useful with the increase of academic demands.
