Homework 2: Everything Parents Ask About School
It is not easy being a parent today.
How can children handle the stresses of school? How can they learn to think critically? How can they be encouraged to read? What if children lie about their grades? What if they are bullied, or worse, they bully others? Or if they watch too much violence on media? Or if they are exposed to too much sex much too early?
It is not easy being a child today.
How can children manage parental expectations? Should they junk print books? Should they have pets? What happens when tweens fall in love? How do children deal with death and loss?
These are but some of the twenty-five parenting and school issues that are tackled in this book. Mother, teacher, and psychologist Queena N. Lee-Chua and her son Scott Lee Chua have chosen their favorite topics from their popular columns “Home Work” and “LOL” in Working Mom magazine. After all, parents want the best for their children, and with proper guidance, children can fulfill their potential and become an asset to our world.

About the author
Queena N. Lee-Chua
27 books11 followers“In this millennium, science literacy is paramount to remain competitive in the global arena. All channels of creative and interesting science communication need to be harnessed for Filipinos to achieve technological understanding and appreciation.”
Lee-Chua, in her own words, best describes her passion to share and spread the value of understanding science both inside and outside the lecture hall. Numerous books, articles, lectures, columns, and other communication tools in her name mirror a vastly creative and disciplined persona.
Born on April 13, 1966, Lee-Chua’s list of accomplishments and activities stretches out to prolific frontier. She has written science and math books, a newspaper column, and teaches both subjects to students, parents, media, and practically everybody else. But she remains consistent in her goal to make science and math learning “fun” through “simpler, more understandable language.” She brings the “fun” to print, radio, TV, online, and interpersonal audiences.
Lee-Chua earned her college education [BS Math, summa cum laude, 1987], graduate [MA in Counseling Psychology, 1992], and post-graduate [PhD in Clinical Psychology, 1995] at the Ateneo de Manila University.
She is currently full professor at the Mathematics Department of ADMU. Among her numerous awards are The Outstanding Women in the Nation’s Service [2001], Outstanding Young Scientist [National Academy of Science and Technology, 2002], First Multiple Intelligence Award [Dr. Howard Gardner, Multiple Intelligence International School Foundation, Inc., 2005], Outstanding Teacher Award [Metrobank Foundation, 2003], National Book Award for Science [2003], Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature [1st place, English Essay, 2001], S&T Journalism Awards [Philippine Press Institute-Philippine Geothermal Inc., 1992], and DOST-Best S&T Columnist, special citation [2005].
