The Homework Page
I will try my best to keep this page updated, but I am not making any promises. Kids, you still need to write it all down in your agenda. If you still have a question once you get home, you know the drill: call both of your Homework Consultants first, and if you're still confused, you may call or email me. (See the contact page for my policies on the best way to reach me at different times of day.)
