  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!)
You could make the homework due on Tuesday. If due on Monday, you could let them turn it in the next day for a lower grade or two. However, I feel like some students genuinely forget so you could extend the period till 10:00 pm (or any time you find best) and let them email you their homework. Sunday you could send a reminder about the homework too.
