[quote=Anonymous]Each of my kids is in a different room studying after school. I rotate around the 3 rooms and check what they are working on. If they need help, they ask. I stop rotating around when they finish. I usually spend 10-15 minutes in each room, usually sitting or reading nearby, being present in case they need me. I do this for about 60 minutes everyday; they are all in elementary school. When they are done I check the work and then they can read or play quietly while the other(s) finish.

The teacher's job is to teach, the kid's job is to learn, my job is to reinforce what they are learning. I can do this by being involved in their studies. I don't do the work, I tell if something is not right, though. They can't go outside, watch tv, play wii, whatever, until they have successfully completed their assignments. The reason it takes about an hour is because usually the older child has more intense work and I don't stop until all are done and if 2 are stumped, one of them has to wait for me to finish helping the other.
