  Case: Homework
How do you grade homework when the students are not turning it in? What are some motivational strategies to encourage students to do homework? Also, how do you deal with parents who irately insist that the teachers are not giving homework when homework is given each day?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have experienced that problem myself. As a middle school teacher, I give students homework twice a week. Students can turn homework in up until Friday of that with ten points being deducted every day it is late. Students were able to purchase agendas and they write down their homework assignments daily. If your school does not have agendas, the irate parent can purchased her child a weekly calendar and use that as way to keep up with homework assignments.

Comments: While this is a possibility, some students and families will not have the funds available to purchase extra supplies. I would recommend sending a copy of the homework assignments to parents and have them sign off on the homework every week.
