"As parents, you can encourage a set homework schedule by creating time (either before or after dinner) when everyone works on tasks free of technological distractions. You could do some bill paying or read a book or newspaper, and your children could work on homework and related assignments."
(page 116, Kindle edition)
"I encourage high school students to do a two-hour block of homework Monday through Thursday, and then schedule two two-hour blocks sometime between Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The caveat is that both weekend two-hour blocks cannot be done on Sunday, because the whole idea of having set homework times is to be proactive rather than reactive, and sitting down on Sunday evening at 8: 00 to start four hours of homework seems like the worst way to get ready for a new school week. Instead, students can do two hours on Saturday from 11: 00 a.m. to 1: 00 p.m. and another two-hour block on Sunday from 3: 00 to 5: 00 p.m. They have the rest of the time to spend time with friends, go to the movies, play video games, or whatever else they may want to do."
