  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 too have had the same problem in past years. A homework choice board can help students pace themselves throughout the week to complete the homework assignments and to turn it in on time. The students whom do not have a large amount of assistance with their homework find the choice board empowering. They are able to manage the homework independently. Also a rule of thumb for homework is not to overload the students. Why assign 20 problems when 5 to 10 problems could have been assigned. The students will receive the same practice without the wasted time and frustration.
