Lenny: Check out the resources your schools given you, like the school books or check out Bitesize. So, if you are struggling, think about what's strategies you've used in class before that are similar to your homework. Otherwise, the teacher won't know where you're at. Lenny: I mean, you could always ask your mates for help if you've forgotten a question, but what you don't want to do, you don't want to copy them, because you want that work to be yours.

Louise: I mean what's wrong with just asking someone you live with for help? Though, I don't really think my cat would be any help. Inel: Oh you've also got be careful when you're searching on the internet that you don't forget that you're actually doing your homework as well, and then 30 minutes goes by and you've just been watching loads of cat videos. There's a lot of fake news and misinformation out there. Lenny: You mean everything on the internet isn't true? Louise: Make sure it’s a trustworthy site like for example, BBC Bitesize or a website your schools recommended, cos it’s easy to get incorrect information on the internet. Inel: Can’t we just use the internet to get all the resources though? With extra information on the work you've been set, but I do think it's always best to look at the resources the school's given you first. Lenny: I mean, school might have given you and booklets or access to an online platform. Inel: You know, the experts say the best thing to do is to ask if you're done something similar, they're not gonna give you something completely new to do at home, so chances are you've already covered it in class. I just think it's always better to give something a go than not complete it at all. It's better to give things a try, even if you struggle, because if you do get something wrong, it does help your teacher understand what you need support with and what you need help with. Louise: I think the thing with this is to try and remember that it's okay to sometimes get things wrong.

Harris: Hi, I'm Harris and I'm in Year 10 and my question is: how do I get help with all my homework when my teachers aren't here at home to help me?
