  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!)
wont know it until you try. they got used to no homework and if you start off with homework your students will get into the groove

Comments: I agree, but since they are stuck in their daily routine of no homework, I believe they will need something such as an incentive to get them back into the habit of complete it daily.

Comments: Starting homework after they are used to not having any may be a hard transition for the kids. This should be set as an expectation from the beginning of the year.

Comments: I agree you have to try initiating homework, but that is not the only strategy that should be put into play. There needs to be conversation on the matter, or also exact activities planned such as doing half of homework in class and sending there rest home.
