The New Bedford Cable Network announced a new partnership with New Bedford Public Schools to air “Homework Helpers” a live show on the Education Channel 17 that will allow students to call-in for help with their homework. Current and retired New Bedford Public Schools teachers will host the half hour call-in show and will provide helpful instruction and advice to students tackling difficult homework questions.
Beginning on Monday, April 30th, students can call into the show four days a week from 5-5:30 p.m. at (508) 979-1600 with their questions. Students may also e-mail questions to homeworkhelpers@newbedfordschools.org or leave a voice message either before or after the show at (508) 979-1760.
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 new tool they can take advantage of to help their child overcome difficulties with homework problems.
“This cable TV program is a creative means to allow New Bedford Public Schools teachers to reach into our students’ homes to help them with their homework on a daily basis,” said Dr. Mary Louise Francis, Superintendent of New Bedford Public Schools.
