Homework Help
I hear from so many parents that “schools are not like the schools I remember when I was a child!” I agree! I am with you and totally understand (remember I have a school-aged child). 21st century learning is more fast-paced with a more advanced curriculum. LEC is here to help your child with homework assistance that will reinforce what was taught during the school day through critical thinking. Homework time should be fun and not stressful for you or your child.
