  Case: No homework
I think that it is important to assign some homework several times per week. Some of these assignments are practice with what I taught that day and sometimes they are in preparation for the following day, e.g. prelabs, etc. Unfortunately, I have several students in each period that just aren't doing the homework. Help me!

Not doing homework is a very common issue with many students. The first thing that you might do is ask the student why they are not doing their homework. There can be issues at home that are not allowing him to do the assignments. If this is the case, you could offer, if possible, a way for the student come to class before or after school to give them time to do the work. If this is not the issue you could let them know that by not doing homework you are putting their grade at risk. You could also let the parent know about the lack of effort with the homework and enlist the parent to check the work before they come to school. if the student refuses to comply, then they will have to learn a lesson and receive the grade that is reflective of his lack of homework
