others, listening and taking notes, remembering things, solving problems,
developing a plan, setting priorities, taking action, concentration, writing
reports, applying skills more broadly,, spending time alone, and helping to
develop curiosity in new subject/ topic.

parents and classroom teachers is necessary to ensure a well-balanced homework
schedule.
