the Homework Page

Links that parents need to find information for their Kid's class assignments.

    Here are some great links if your a parent trying to help your kid with their school report. It's amazing how many parents cruise the web looking for what I consider basic links to help their child with a report.
    This page is for the parent of kid's in elementary or junior high or the parent who is new to the web and needing a little assistance in retrieving information.
    There are a lot of "ASK 'em" sites included here, but the biggee is don't submit your homework to their site. They caught on real fast to submiting homework, so don't try.
    Please note that in the archive sections, I found sites that generally have answers to questions that have been asked already. So if your patient enough to wade through the archives you might find the answer to your question.
