  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!)
One possible way to solve this issue is to weight the grading scale in the class in such a manner that the homework has a greater effect on that student than that of many of the other grading scores and this in turn will essentially force the student to complete their homework in order to succeed in the class.
