  Case: H.A.M Log (Homework Assignment Missing Log)
Mr. Carver is a new teacher who has a student who will not complete any homework assignments. He has contacted the student's parents and sent home numerous H.A.M logs to be signed by parents, which always come back signed. The students does well in the class, and has an A, even with the missing homework assignments. He has spoken with other team members who teach the student, and they do not have the same issue with the student; most homework assignments are projects and students have a specific deadline by which to submit the assignment, math homework is nightly. Mr. Carver wonders if he should just ignore the fact that the student does not complete or turn in most homework assignments, or if he should involve the school counselor and administration.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would never ignore that fact that a student is not doing homework because it would not be fair to the other students who are taking the time and effort to complete their homework. I would try to give an allotted time each day in class for homework for the whole class and see how the student does then.
