HOMEWORK ANGEL

    Once a parent has signed up, I will provide them with a telephone and fax number, in addition to the email address.
    When the student arrives home, he or she will give the assignment to the parent, who can then FAX or E-mail the assignment to me. If needed, they will also send a copy of the applicable schoolbook pages pertaining to that assignment. (Assignments may be in the form of handout sheets, quizzes, assignments and/or tests which are found within the textbooks. Every school and every teacher seems to use a different set of books, handouts, outlines, etc., likewise every student's case and situation is unique to that particular student and his or her family.)
    The provided assignment/face sheet which will be provided, is completed and sent to me with each assignment.  This sheet will also serve as the cover sheet, whether sent by FAX or E-mail.
    Upon completion of the assignment, it is then sent back to the parent so that they can correct and go over the assignment with their child. The student should have their assignment done prior to my returning the completed assignment to the parent by way of Email of FAX.
    Once the completed homework assignment is returned, the parent can then go over it and/or compare it with the student's already completed assignment.  How and/or when this is done is up to the parent and their own working or family schedule.
    (Example: In my house I would always do my assignments after school, and my parents check it later in the day or at night when I am sleeping. We go over it first thing in the morning, which also serves to keep the assignment fresh in my memory when I go to school that same day.)
    We are taught in school that homework is the responsibility of every student, thus insuring decent grades. Homework also represents to the teacher, the students diligence, work and study habits, sense of responsibility and family situation,.  Especially important to consider is that homework can represent between 20 and 50 percent of the report card grade, depending on the individual teacher and school curriculum. Don’t forget that homework and test scores are, after all, the only two "tangible" considerations a teacher has upon which to base a grade.
     This is not a cheat site.  It is a service and/or system by which the parent can communicate or consult with me online, or via fax machine, early in the day or evening, and by morning have completed work at their fingertips, thus allowing them to sit down and go over the homework assignments with their child.   Remember that all homework must be completed and turned in a timely manner and in the students own handwriting!
    The mechanics and timing of each case depends on the books, handouts and criteria used by the teacher.  In the case of general assignments which do not require a particular book, I will send  my completed assignment to the parent by email a few hours after receiving it by email or fax from the parent.  Being in California, we are on Pacific Standard Time.
       In cases involving certain books, it may even be necessary for the parent to send me a copy of the textbook to be used throughout the school year. Books would be returned at end of the year or my service.  In this case, the parent would simply complete the Assignment Sheet and tell me the Assignment, Page and Chapter numbers.
       In cases where the teacher uses a handout sheet, the handout is simply scanned and sent to me, or sent to me by FAX machine.  The instruction sheet also serves as the FAX Cover-Sheet.
    In the case of reading assignments, where a child is instructed to simply read a chapter of any book and report on it, I can also suggest some reading materials and assist with those reports also.
    Turn-around time is quick, since homework is usually due the next day, and is dependant on my receiving the readable assignment in a timely fashion from the parent.
    In many cases, you may choose not to even advise the student that I have assisted, so that he or she will presume that it was you who did the work.  That decision is yours to make.  On the other hand, in other cases, it may be advantageous to teach the student to send a fax of the assignment as soon as they get home from school!  I will complete all assignments in the order they are received.
