  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!)
Homework is important for the student. It allows them to review what they did in class to make sure of understanding. The parent(s) may not be there to help. So guided practice where the students have completed half of the work and complete the other half at home. This way the parents can see what the student is working on in class. As for high school students, they can review what they completed in class. I normally have my students make up test questions and/ or put the information reviewed in class on index cards to use for studying.

Comments: The originality of showing students how to study at home with index cards is a good alternative to parental support. The families that can support homework can also use these cards to help their student review and study

Comments: I like this. I use to this in school all the time as a child, and it really helped me complete what was required of me as my parents didn't have time to help me.

Comments: The solution you provided is good. Before reading your solution, I held the opinion that homework that is sent home should be a review of what has already been learned - at least for younger students. Once students can work more independently it becomes less of an issue. However, I like that you suggested completing some homework in class and having the students finish the rest at home. This way they have strategies and techniques from class to refer too and their parents can see what they did in class so they are able to help them better with their homework. Great solution.
