REDMOND, Wash. — July 5, 2005 — The report card is in, and kids aren’t the only ones feeling overwhelmed when it comes to calculus homework and history reports. According to a recent independent survey commissioned by Microsoft Corp. in the United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany, 71 percent of parents with 12- to 18-year-olds consider themselves unprepared to help their children with homework, citing insufficient knowledge and a lack of resources as the primary areas of frustration.1 Perhaps this is why more than half of the parents interviewed said homework is a source of tension in their household. Based on consumer feedback and extensive research, Microsoft today introduced Microsoft® Student 2006, a comprehensive, subject-specific productivity software product designed to help middle- and high-school students efficiently complete high-quality homework assignments and achieve academic success. | ||
