  Case: Homework Challenge
I am in a classroom as an intern, it is self-contained ESE. These students are very bright, but yet because of their disabilities they are not given any homework or things to complete at home. The issue that I am seeing is that the parents are not being trusted to accomplish something with their child at home. When I asked why they weren't given homework, I was told that it would never get done anyway. I understand where the teacher is coming from, but I feel that the students should at least learn accountability as they transition into extended graduation program even if it means getting a signature on a piece of paper. My concern, as I go into my own classroom soon is what I would do if it were my classroom? Am I seeing all the perspectives? As a new teacher, what advice would you give me?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would give the students homework when you go into your own classroom and see how it goes. All students and schools are different.

Comments: Giving homework a shot and seeing the response is a good way to see if it will work in the classroom. If it does not work simply stop doing it.
