Mayor Jon Mitchell said the program is a great way for students who may be struggling with a particular subject to receive specialized guidance with their homework after regular school hours. “The teachers involved in this innovative program are really passionate about education and are looking forward to taking calls from students and helping them with any subject they may be struggling with,” said Mayor Mitchell.
The Mayor encouraged all New Bedford parents to consider the Homework Helper show a tool they can take advantage of to help their child overcome difficulties with homework problems.
