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 think a great solution to this dilemma would be a Homefun activity. I have learned about this in ESOL classes and its a homework activity that the parents and students complete together. This would be a great solution because it will allow the parents to be involved in the homework and it will also give the student a chance to learn more about a certain topic from their parents.
