Many of the students are failing science because the students are not turninbg in the assignments. In addition, their performance on quizzes are poor. I feel that we are not adeequately meeting the needs of all the students. Many assignments are started in class and the students have to take them home to complete. The general education teacher and I have sat down and discussed this issue but now it is time to provide students with grades. Should I modify the grades or not? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Do you have a remediation class or any time that you may pull your students to allow them to do the work at that time? Sending a lot of homework home with SPED students is setting them up for failure. They forget or just don't do it, or lose it. I would grade them on what they did in class instead of the full assignment. I use to not give my students less than a 70 on any assignment, but I have stepped away from that. They get what they get, after other modifications.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that I would not send the assignments home for the SPED students.
