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 don't like homework. For one thing, it is a hassle to take up and grade (if you grade it). For another thing, the students are not usually the ones completing it. Most of the time parents, older siblings, etc are either doing or giving answers. Kids cheat too much on homework too. It is not purposeful or beneficial. If you are required to give homework, you could give choice boards with lots of different types of assignments and have the students choose. Make it fun through the use of technology. But homework like it is typically given is not purposeful.                 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: I agree with you, I don't feel students need a lot of homework.

It's only 20 minutes to read a chapter or two in a book. That's one homework assignment, right there.
