Case: Homework
I teach a learning strategies class to high schoolers and I don't assign homework. I let the students use the class as a study hall for half of the class. DO I have to start assigning homework?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Homework, according to Boaler's Mathematical Mindset, is not necessary. She actually suggests getting rid of it altogether. You never know what a students' home life is like, and homework can actually perpetuate inequity in the classroom. Maybe they have to assume the role of the parent when they get home, or they don't have internet access or other materials needed to complete the homework. If you review homework at the beginning of class, the inequities are magnified. Students may feel like they start the class already behind, which causes low morale and high stress. |
