What is the author's point of view according to the passage? Parents should not be helping their child with homework. Teachers state that the point of homework is to practice a skill that had been taught in class. If parents help too much with homework, then the child is missing out on practicing the skill. Homework is also given so kids can learn to work independently, which will help them later in life. By helping too much with homework, sometimes parents are sending the message that they will always be there when things get tough - instead of letting the kids try it for themselves.
