  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 say maybe, talk to the teachers and see if you can set up a homework club with the students, so they can get there homework done after school a couple times a week.

Comments: Unfortunately the students are going to go with what their teacher has already been teaching them. Trying to change the lesson plan in the middle of the year will not help. This teacher apparently has her own way of teaching and it doesn't involve assigning homework. I think it is best to just go with what the current teacher is teaching and create your own methods when you get your own class.
