Kids 'n' homework

Home ork ~s a student s responsi-
bility. Parents have a responsibility,
too, but it may not be what they think,
said Church Smith, K-State Research
and Extension child development spe-
cialist.
The amount of homework depends
on the child s age and a teacher s style
and preferences. A light-hearted
teacher may motivate a child to want to
do that homework, but it's likely that a
child will want to go to the park, hang
out with friends or watoh television.
"We all have to do things we'd
rather not do. That's life, and learning
to balance the must do s' with other
activities can be beneficial," the child
development specialist said.
So what's a parent to do? A parent's
first responsibility is to make time avail-
able: set aside quiet time after supper
and limit television, phone calls or non
homework computer use, even for chil-
dren who don't have homework. Do-
ing so will provide an environment
that's conductive to completing as-
signments. Being available can be a
plus..So can answering an occasional
question.
There's a difference, though be-
or she needs to be able to go to school
and say, "This is mine,", not, "This is
what my Dad/Morn made."

Sign up for the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Crop Disaster Program is
continuing. Contrary to rumors that
producers may have heard, no applica-
tion ending date has been announced.
Although the program deadline is
not imminent, producers should not
wait until the last minute to gather their
documentation and contact the Farm
Service Agency county office for an
appointment.
Under the Crop Disaster Program
producers will be reimbursed for quali-
fying crop production and quality losses
to crops for either the 2001 or 2002
crops.
Payments for CDP will provide
some $2 billion in aid nationwide for
producers suffd'ing from natural di-
sasters. The CDP payments are lim-
ited to $80,000 per producer. Just in
the past two months, Kansas producers
have received over $95 million in crop
disaster payments.
