  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 would inform the student as well as the parent that this is what is expected at your high school. Whether or not this was implemented to them in the past, this is something that is implemented at your school. Encourage the parents to motive their child to do their homework. Explain why you feel their is an importance to having homework. IE enforces the material learned and helps them retain the information better.

Comments: I believe this is a great solution. Stating expectations is a great start to letting students know what they are responsible for and what they will be help accountable for. I think that if students are still not completing homework then conferences or contact with parents/caregivers is the next option.
