  Case: Homework
I am experiencing great difficulty with students turning in their homework on time. Students are given an entire week to complete the weekly homework assignments. However, they refuse to complete the assignment and seem to not be bothered by the fact that they are getting a zero in the grade book. What solutions would you suggest to increase homework participation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have to do daily homework assignments for more student participation. I check the homework during Morning Work. If they do not have the assignment, they have to sign the No Homework Binder (name, date, assignment, and reason). I use the binder during conferences to show parents their student's responses and effort. If the student doesn't do the homework two days in a row, he must make it up during recess. Also, do you use planners? I've noticed that since I have made it mandatory for parent signatures, more homework is being done because the parents see the assignments due.

Comments: Great ideas to support a high homework return rate. The parent signature in the planner involves the parent so they know what expected of their child in the classroom.

Comments: I think that showing them disappointment when they do not complete their homework and letting them know the importance of it is good. They also need to know the parents will be involved if they do not start completing it.

Comments: I agree with this solution. I always think using an agenda and requesting parent/guardian signatures is the best route. It promotes homework completion and helps to establish a line of communication with the students parents/guardians. I also really like your idea of the No Homework Binder for documentation.
