  Case: No zeros for no work
In this school system, teachers are not allowed to give students a zero when they do not return work. Some teachers do not agree with this policy. Thoughts?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not agree with this, especially in the upper grades. Homework is to re-enforce skills taught and with that being said I believe it teaches students responsibility. I do not agree with loading students down with too much homework that it takes away from family and fun time. After all they are just kids, but some homework for practice does give a student responsibility and makes them accountable. If you do not give a grade for the homework the students do not care and therefore will not do it.

Comments: I agree. Homework is to give students a sense of responsibility and to provide practice of what was learned in the classroom. If students are taught at a young age that they do not need to do their homework and tell their parents that "It is okay I do not do it because I'll still pass" and the parents accept this, then it is going to be a very rude awakening for both the student and the parents when they go to the higher levels of education.

Comments: I agree with this response. Homework is assigned for a reason. If the student is irresponsible and doesn't do the work, they should get a zero.

Comments: I agree with this statement because homework teaches them responsibility and they should make sure to be accountable for their action whiles providing them with an understanding for their assignments. This teachers may have different view buts I agree that this is my view.

Comments: I agree homework is very important to reinforce to the students what they learned in the class. If you don't give the students a grade for homework then they will not do it therefore they may not do well on the test.
