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 do not take homework for a grade, but I have a "Homeworkpoly" board in the classroom. When they do their homework, they get to move around the board. When they make it all the way around they earn a homework pass. It is a simple system but my second graders really enjoy it. I also have a class website where I post assignments, so parents are able to access it on a nightly basis if they want to check on what is for homework.
