  Case: Homework
I am experiencing great difficulty with students turning in their homework on time. Students are given an entire week to complete the weekly homework assignments. However, they refuse to complete the assignment and seem to not be bothered by the fact that they are getting a zero in the grade book. What solutions would you suggest to increase homework participation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would change the homework to being daily and incorporate completing homework to getting a reward like dojo points. I would also send notes home to parents about a program similar to Focus where the parents can see what their children have and have not done for the class. This way, you as a teacher would also have the parents backing you up and getting their children to do their homework.
