A qualitative research was made with emphasis on the use of the focal group. The study had 12 participants : people responsible for teenagers who were in the 7th, 8th and 9th grade of the basic education from a private school. The data were analyzed by content analysis. The results indicated that the parents see the homework as an element which belongs to the dynamics of school activities, despite the negative feelings that permeate their involvement in the mentioned schoolwork.Acesso AbertoPsicologia da aprendizagemRendimento escolarAdolescentesPais e filhosArtigo de PeriódicoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::PSICOLOGIA::PSICOLOGIA DO DESENVOLVIMENTO HUMANO::DESENVOLVIMENTO SOCIAL E DA PERSONALIDADEhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2175-3539/2014/0183786
