  Case: Homework-Yes or No?
I am not sure if homework is a good idea. Many of my students are home alone after school and do not have an adult at home to help them complete assignments, which results in the students not turning in complete assignment or any assignments at home. On the other hand I think it is important to spend a few minutes a night reviewing new information and homework is a good way to get kids to practice what they have learned in class. I am tired of fighting the homework battle. I would appreciate any insights on the viability of homework
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I personally don't like to give a lot of homework, but the parents of my students seem to want to check in and see what their child is doing during the day and request homework! I give phonics sheets and word finds so that some of the work is fun. I think homework should be a quick review of the content taught the week before. Some teachers are assigning all homework online now.
My students that don't have support at home and don't complete homework at home are allowed to complete it during our morning work time.

Comments: I don't think children learn as much from busywork. I think if you are going to send home word finds as homework, you should incorporate something else with it so they aren't just doing busywork.

Comments: I do not fully agree with everything, but if it is working than it works. I like that you allow students to do the work during school hours if they lack the equipment needed to do it.

Comments: I believe that you are right on the money with your solution. No student wants to do homework so you have to find a way to make them want to do it and I also think that giving them time to do it in the morning is an excellent idea :)

Comments: I agree with this to the fullest. Having some sort of review is very important, otherwise how can you be sure that the students are even learning? A lot of homework can be discouraging, but a little is the way to go to check in and it shows the parents what is going on in the classroom.

Comments: this is a great way for students to be able to review the previous lessons and be able to work on them independently. Having time in the morning is also very beneficial to students who need the extra help, or do not have the support at home.
