  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!)
In my classroom, I differentiate homework by giving them choices. I believe that this is beneficial because they are getting a choice based off of the standards and their interest. Also, I give homework on Mondays and it is due on Fridays. At the beginning of the year, my students were the same way. With motivation and discipline, students started to bring their homework.

Comments: The idea of giving choices for homework seems like it would definitely help with interest, creativity and motivation. I also like the idea of giving them more than one night to complete homework so they can learn to develop time management skills.
