[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a few reasons schools are moving this way.

In-class work and homework are meant to be formative assessment. They allow students to get independent practice and for teachers to see common areas of challenge and misconception. That said, they should be part of the learning process. No one expects perfection during initial practice. For this reason, such assignments are often graded on completion, rather than accuracy.

Another reason for this policy is an effort to keep grades up. Rates of homework completion are way down. Getting students of any age to follow directions is a nightmare. Principals and parents are reluctant to assign consequences, and at the scale that work is missing it’s nearly impossible for teachers to stay on top of enforcing quality standards. We know too that AI is enabling a lot of cheating. Class assignments and homework don’t seem like an honest assessment of student abilities.

Finally, this policy is motivated by teacher workloads. With public school teachers handling 120+ students, there’s no time to meaningfully grade daily assignments. If a teacher spends just one minute per student, that’s two hours of grading per day—on top of lesson planning, parent contacts, and faculty meetings. To the extent that daily assignments are marked, it’s usually just for completion.
