[quote=Anonymous]Homework in our experience is finishing up stuff that didn't get done in class.  Foreign language and math teacher have both off the record told me that they think there should be daily homework because in those two subjects practice is key.  They provide lots of supplemental and may-do options so that kids who understand that can do more work at home or in class.

Novels at our school are done as part of book clubs.  The kids are grouped with others reading the same book, and they have to read something like 1/4 of the book at a time and then meet in class to discuss or do whatever activities.  I think there's reading time in class as well, DC is a fast reader so I've never seen the books read at home.

The grading is even more ridiculous.  The lowest they can get is a 50%.  Like, you don't turn in a project or take a test and you don't get a 0.  Welcome to APS where we do our best to pull everyone up regardless of whether they know the material or do the work.[/quote]
