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!) The purpose of homework is to reinforce learning that has or will take place in the classroom. That means that homework has to be done and done correctly to serve its purpose. I have had some classes that complete homework and turn it in with great regularity while other classes are at the other end of the spectrum. If you are assigning homework that is not getting done, stop assigning it. Incorporate addition practice time into the class period as needed and focus your energies more on maximizing instruction while you have your students in front of you. Academic success is a delicate balance of struggle and success; why add an element that you have virtually no control over?                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Homework should be given daily.
