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!)
If I notice a student consistently not turning in homework, I talk to that student to see if I can get to the bottom or root of the problem of the student not turning in homework. If the student gives me reasons such as "I forgot," "I got home late," "I was playing outside," or "My mom didn't make me do it," I pull that student in during recess or PE to have them complete it. Yes, it is on my "free" or "planning" time, but the student must realize that it is important to complete homework at home. Usually a few times of missing their play time helps cure the problem. If it continues, then I call the parent/guardian.
Concerning the last question in your case: I have not had this problem yet. Here's how I would handle an irrate parent insisting that the teacher does not send homework when in fact the teacher does: I would calmly explain that their child has homework nearly every night. It is in their take home folder every single day on the "bring back" side, and that once their child has complete the homework, it should be put in the folder to return to school. I would also let the parent know that my students are reminded every single day that they have homework and that it can be found in their folder. I would also ask them to sign up for Remind101 for the class, so this parent is for sure to get homework and study reminders for each day. |

| Comments: I disagree with this solution. Students in some states are mandated to receive a certain amount of time for PE/Recess and taking that away from them might not be possible. I would first try to find out why is the student not completing the assignments, based on the answer, I would speak to the parents in order to come up with a plan for the child to do the assignments. |

| Comments: That is a good idea. Giving students a consequence for their actions teaches them an important life lesson. |
