Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: My Dog Ate My Homework A problem I have had with several students is that they constantly "forget their homework," especially on Mondays, coming back from the weekend. How can I better instill responsibility in the classroom and prevent this issue from reoccurring? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Use recess on Monday as a mandatory "study hall" period for students who don't get their homework done during the weekend. This will ensure the work gets done one way or another and will give students the choice of whether they want to have the freedom to do their work over a number of days or give up free time during the week to get their work done. Having to give up recess every Monday may encourage students to develop some way that will allow them to effectively remember their homework during the weekend.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with this solution idea. We need to stop rewarding something they are required to do, but we do need to start punishing those who do not do what they are supposed to do.
