Many of my students are home alone after school and do not have an adult at home to help them complete assignments, which results in the students not turning in complete assignment or any assignments at home. On the other hand I think it is important to spend a few minutes a night reviewing new information and homework is a good way to get kids to practice what they have learned in class. I am tired of fighting the homework battle. I would appreciate any insights on the viability of homework Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Homework needs to be challenging but within a student's skill level. If they can't complete it without assistance, they aren't quite ready for it yet. You could give them short homework assignments or you could give them homework assignments that review what you learned that day, that week, last week, etc. You can also tell them that you want their best effort, but they can ask you any questions they have the next day if they are confused. Then, give them time to finish the assignment where they can ask for help from you or a peer.
