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!) To deal with parents and if homework is given or not I use remind.com. It is a mass media service that allows teachers to communicate with parents and students without exchanging cell phone numbers and other forms of communication. It allows you to send text messages, emails, or phone calls home to notify them of homework assignments, key dates, or vital information to the course. When dealing with students who do not turn in homework. I use after school detention. I give students 5 opportunities to turn their homework late. When we reach the fifth missed or late assignment they get a 45 minute after school detention that they must attend. Parents are notified and school administration as well.
