How can I better instill responsibility in the classroom and prevent this issue from reoccurring? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have found that there is guaranteed effectiveness when trying to enforce classroom policies when you say an expectation and stick to it. So if a student forgets their homework and the clear consequence to that is a 0, then you must enforce that 0 regardless of the student. This shows students that you mean what they say and there is no expectation that is up for dispute or negotiation.
