I was an absolute nightmare on that front as a teenager, it makes me feel such a hypocrite! My mother has agreed to keep this information to herself for the next few years; she didn't charge me much either ;) I always feel so guilty nagging her about homework.

I dont quite know what the teachers expect us as parents to do about class participation. They're the ones with their hands on the ball so to speak and surely it's up to them to ask the less forward students. I very much doubt any child, especially not a teenager is going to respond to his/her parent saying they should put their hand up more in class. Good Luck with the homework timetabling. We are also struggling with this type of organisational problem. It's so hard not to just step in and take over, but that really doesnt help anyone and just becomes another source of argument.
