When I was very small, my teachers told me to let my parents sign their names on my homework, so as to prove that they had assisted in doing my homework. Most schools have carried out this policy for a long time and now some people have doubted the necessity of parents’ signature. They believed that it is both parents and teachers’ duty to check the children’s homework, but the schools only leave this job to the parents. In my opinion, there is no need to sign the name, because there is no doubt that parents have the duty to help their children solve the problems, but some homework should be checked by the teachers, as they know how to better correct the students’ mistakes, then to better improve students’ ability. So the best way to help students get improved lies in both parents and teachers’ effort.

在我很小的时候，我的老师让我让我的父母在我的作业上签名，以证明他们有辅导我做作业。很多学校都把这一政策执行了很长一段时间，然而现在有人觉得这是没有必要的。父母和教师都有责任辅导学生作业，但学校只把这份责任留给了父母。在我看来是没有必要签署名字的，父母肯定是有义务帮助孩子解决问题的，但有些作业应由老师检查，因为他们更了解如何更好地纠正学生的错误，这样才能更好地提高学生的学习能力。所以帮助学生最好的方式是父母和老师的共同努力。
