Some do’s and don’ts, courtesy of the National PTA, for parents wondering how much to help with homework:

• Assume that your children will have homework every night.

• Ask them if they understand their assignments. If they don’t, work a few examples together.

• Ask your children to see their homework after the teacher returns it, to learn where they’re having trouble and where they’re doing well.

• Stay in touch with teachers, and ask how you can help support their lessons.

Remember, you and the teachers want the same thing: to help your children learn.

• Don’t do your children’s work for them. Help them learn to do it themselves.

• Show your children that you think homework is important. Ask to see their work if you haven’t been home while they were doing it.

• Praise your children regularly for doing well.

• Keep a portfolio of “best pieces.’

• Ask the school for tips on developing good study habits.

• Help older students organize assignments by recording them in a calendar or planner.

  1. In Nursing assignment, one who is going to write it need to have practical knowledge as well as theoretical information. As it is the practical subject, you can try someone out there which have little information about it so that it can write it best.
