  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!)
I have also fought the homework battle in the past. Something new that I began is offering incentives for bringing homework. There are individual incentives and class incentives if everyone returns homework. Students never want to be the reason there class does not receive the big incentive. This has helped tremendously. Also, homework is always based on skills that have already been covered. I understand everyone does not have the same support system at home, therefore I have identified students who may need class time in the morning to complete homework. Since it is practice, I never grade homework.
