Home Assignments Policy
Home Assignment Policy
Rivendell tutors will give home assignments to their students to be completed with parental supervision on non-study center days. Home assignments will typically require four days of work (including the days at the study center) for the grammar stage, and five days of work (including the days at the study center) for the dialectic and rhetoric stages. The assignments will be age/level appropriate. If the student is overwhelmed with the amount of work, the parent should talk directly to the tutor. The principle reasons for home assignments are as follows:
- Students often need some amount of extra practice in new or specific concepts, skills, or facts. In certain subjects, regular practice at home may be necessary for mastery. Therefore, the tutor may assign homework to allow for necessary practice.
- Repeated, short periods of practice or study of new information are often a better way to learn than one long period of study.
