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!) As the teacher, you are in control of what is and what is not assigned to your students. If you choose to not assign homework to your students, then you should not have to unless you see a need for it. Homework is beneficial for not only students, but parents and teachers as well. When students are assigned homework, they have material that will help them prepare for major tests and assessments. Homework also furthers knowledge and understanding of topics discussed in class. Students are able to review the material at home and become comfortable with it. Sometimes homework is assigned just as busy work for students to complete when they go home. If you ever find yourself giving homework to your students just so they have something to do, it is probably best you not assign any because they are not gaining anything from it.
