  Case: Assigning Homework
I am co-director for a STEM Academy at the high school that I teach at. One of the biggest struggles we have is students completing homework. This issue stems from the middle school they come from. Two different middle schools feed into our high school. One middle school does assign homework. The other middle school does not assign homework. Therefore, when the students get to high school half of our students will complete the homework, and the other half will not complete the homework. When analyzing the students that complete and do not complete the homework, the majority of the students that do not complete the homework are from the middle school that does not assign homework. What can I do as a teacher and co-director to aid in this issue of not completing homework?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that the teachers should stress the importance of completing homework because they will have to do homework in college. So those who do it should be rewarded and those who not should fail.

Comments: I think this solution is the least helpful, you cannot simply fail a student for not completing their homework alone. Also yes stressing the importance of homework for the future is important but whats more important is the reasoning behind homework. It's meant to reinforce the content learned from that day or week and further the understanding of the material covered.

Comments: I don't agree with this because you should take the time to work with the students who don't do homework in order to help them prepare for college instead of just fail them.

Comments: not all students go to college after high school, so this solution will not benefit all. there is no real incentive given that will motivate the students to complete their homework
