What can parents and teachers do to teach students to use “HW” properly?
Students can be taught the distinction between formal and casual usage of the language by their parents and teachers. The explanation that HW is okay when one needs to write a text or get a reminder quickly, but it is not when it is necessary to accomplish assignments or exams, is a way of developing good habits in writing. By urging students to change their language according to the context, the students are able to communicate effectively and in the right manner. This recommendation helps promote academic proficiency and at the same time enables the students to resort to the handy abbreviations in their daily conversations.
