How can I better instill responsibility in the classroom and prevent this issue from reoccurring? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You can give them the deadline and tell them that if they do not turn it in by Monday there will be serious repercussions. These could be things such as no recess for them and the rest of the class gets recess and/or notes of concern getting sent home to parents telling them that their child did not turn in their homework by the deadline, so this will affect their overall grade in the class.
