Homework

I think homework is a necessary part of school if for no other reason than to give the student practice at the new skills. Mine generally have one piece of homework a night, ocassionally 2. If things get really stressed| at school they may have more but our homework policy says to keep it under 10 minutes per grade level. Homework also serves the purpose of involving the parent to a degree and keeping them informed on what the student is learning at school. I used to give more homework but have just recently cut down due to parent over-involvement. I had a parent walking their child through every single | |
math problem and she never tried any at home alone. She would get 100% on homework and then fail quizzes. Homework is only worth 10% of their total grade now.
