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 struggle with the same dilemma. I truly want my students to understand the value of homework and have them develop this practice as a habit. I have started the assignments with them in class and then have them complete it for homework. Or, I would do the odd with them and they would be responsible for the evens. Also, if you want to have them do a reading assignment, have them do a log for any reading they may do. Don't specify or send home a worksheet. For example, ask them to read 20 minutes every night. If they have science homework, they can count that as reading. Give homework passes to those that do the homework on a consistent basis.
At the end of the day, you have to decide is the stress caused by the homework battle worth it? If so, make a stand. If not, let it go. |
