September 12, 2006 Horry County Schools announces its sixth season of HomeworkTV on the educational access channel. This live, interactive, call-in show is designed to provide the students of Horry County with some extra help with their mathematics and English language arts homework assignments. The show is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5-7 p.m. during the regular school year. The first hour is dedicated to mathematics and the second hour follows with English language arts. Anyone with a homework question – a student or parent – can call HomeworkTV at 488-6797 during program hours. The host teacher will then attempt to help the caller not only answer the question, but will also reinforce the strategies and lessons taught. Questions can also be asked online through the HCS website. HomeworkTV is designed as a teaching and tutoring aide for middle school students of Horry County, although students from all grade levels have called in with questions. If there are no calls, the teacher will present a middle school level, standards-based lesson. HomeworkTV teacher hosts for 2006-2007 are as follows: | | Tuesday | Cherie Richardson, Forestbrook Middle School | Wednesday | Michael Oerther, Ocean Bay Middle School | | Thursday | Meredith Baldwin, Early College High School | | | | | Tuesday | Angie Richardson, Black Water Middle School | | Wednesday | Marion Touzel, Ocean Bay Middle School | | Thursday | Jean Burden, Loris Middle School |
