  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!)
We have this problem at our school as well. We assign easy homework that can be done independently. In math the students have a math log that requires them to practice math facts for fluency for 10 minutes a night; after they are done their parents initial. In reading the students have to read for 10 minutes and they identify nouns from the story they read or verbs. This way at least the students are practicing math and reading at home.
