Case: Homework Issues
In one of my classes, on average, about 20 out of the 30 students never complete their homework. Though I feel homework is crucial for students to demonstrate what they have learned during class, I do not give it every night; only about 3 nights per week and when I do assign it, it is never more than ten problems (usually 5-8). I'll even give a student a 70 if they turn it in the next day as a late grade. I have had discussions with students both individually and as a whole group, sent home notice of concerns to parents to notify them that their students are not completing assignments. Still, halfway through the semester and nothing is changing. Is there anything different I can do on my part? Should I offer rewards even though homework is expected to be done? These are 10th graders... is there something else I could try?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Unfortunately there seem to be a shift in rules as it relates to homework. The claim is that all students does not have the same advantage when it comes to completing homework, as their living conditions may render them completing homework a struggle. Math is a whole different ballgame because one has to practice math to be proficient. You may have to ask the administration to support instituting a flex day where the math practice can be done under supervision.
