  Case: Student not completing homework..
This student is an amazing learner and completes all assignments in class. She actively participates with the class and constantly works well within groups. However, when any homework is given, it never returns completed. Its blank and incomplete. When asked, she always says she forgets, even though I've given several reminders within her agenda and work book. How can I encourage her to do her work outside of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I personally am not a huge supporter for homework because many students have a lot going on outside of the classroom, particularly when they are in high school. However, if homework is required for your school, I would suggest letting the student start working on the homework when they are at school. Based on the description of the student, it is evident that they are capable of completing the homework but may have barriers at home that prevent them from doing so. You could also assign alternative assignments that are not as time consuming and that work with the student's outside school schedule.
