  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!)
Try assigning homework each night instead of giving them a week to complete it. The students turn in their homework in the morning and when you check the homework you put the student's name on the board who has not completed it. The students are expected to take the unfinished homework with them at recess and complete it while the other students play. Tell the students that if you do not complete your homework then they write their name on the board immediately when they come in the morning. I have seen this done is a second grade classroom and it makes the students responsible for their work. It also ensures a high homework return rate.

Comments: I agree especially with younger students, weekly is harder to manage but daily can be easier for them to manage.
