For several years, the national “homework done” system has been offered to middle school students. It offers middle school students supervised study time to do their homework. This support is valuable in helping young people structure their work and acquire autonomy. The Mayenne Education League supports volunteers to work with middle school students. This involves proposing resource people so that they can support the educational teams of the establishments.
specifies Pascal Isambert, education project manager.
Trained volunteers
Six colleges have set up this individual support in Mayenne. It offers time dedicated to reviewing concepts seen in class, and provides kind help. This program is adapted to each student. This responds to the notion of the spirit that students should have: the values of effort
emphasizes Mr. Delaubert, principal of the college Fernand Puech.
For Éliane, a volunteer, the Homework Done system allows students to benefit a little help to remove a blockage or apprehension and to give more serenity in school work
underlines this retiree. Every week, she speaks at Emmanuel-De-Martonne college. This makes it possible to explain concepts because in class, they cannot ask all their questions and at home perhaps not either, so it is the possibility of having an interlocutor”,
specifies the volunteer.
Volunteers needed
Éliane also finds what she’s looking for: I like contact with young people and their supporters. Helping them to progress, to understand, because they don't always have help at home. It’s a short time, but for them it’s very useful,”
she added. Laurence, volunteer at Fernand Puech College, retired from public finance, also confirms the interest in Homework Done: I have already received positive feedback from parents
.
The Teaching League continues to look for volunteers to intervene, particularly in the areas of Bais, Montsûrs, Meslay-du-Maine and Laval
