How can I better instill responsibility in the classroom and prevent this issue from reoccurring? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Make homework due Tuesdays instead. Weekends are difficult for young people. However, once a kid is a middle or high school student, continue to assign work due Mondays. This creates an environment where responsibility is key.
