Thursday’s essay, “The link between doing homework and success,” is the fourth of a number of essays that relate to education. That I write essays on education, as I have said the past several weeks, is easily understood since I spent close to 48 years involved in public education as either a student or teacher. (This week’s essay is the kind that, if taken to heart, can change a person’s life now and forever!)

Share your And Then Some Story about the importance of homework. How long have you been or were you a student? How successful are you or were you? Can you tell us some of the factors that have made a difference in your life (especially where homework contributed positively to your life)? When it comes to the importance of homework, what would be YOUR message? Can you share your tips, stories, or suggestions regarding homework? We would love to hear your story. Do you have a friend, a family member, a neighbor, or someone you just know from a distance who has benefited from homework? Can you tell his or her story? Feel free to use a pseudonym for the person’s real name.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview
The link between homework and success
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
There is a direct correlation between students who do their homework and succeed in life. Students who do homework graduate from high school at higher rates, are more likely to go on to higher education, are better behaved, and have better attitudes. Look around, people who are well-off are generally well-educated and have worked hard for some portion of their lives. Homework is a way to build the kind of work ethic that will get lower class students out of the lower class and help others develop greater self-discipline, independence, and responsibility — values that will affect a lifetime.
