From the Paper:

"Homework trends have varied widely throughout the years. When analyzing current trends on who helps with the student's homework, one finds some surprising answers. The following information was taken from recent polls conducted by the Angus Reid Group concerning trends and attitudes in K-12 education. Although it was agreed all around that parents are the ones to help most often, followed by friends, teachers, and brothers and sisters, a survey of 12-year-olds found that mothers are involved with their children's homework nearly twice as often as the fathers. Researchers speculate that this could be due to some mothers being home after school while their children are younger, but returning to work as their children get older."
