[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point of an education is mastery of the subject material so that grading weighting makes sense. [/quote] But in order to have mastery, kids need to complete their homework and assignments. Making homework essentially not graded removes the motivation for kids to actually do it. It’s seen as optional. [/quote] The motivator is to do well on the quiz/test.[/quote] Yes, but kids need graded homework and assignment feedback leading up to quizzes and tests. This “completion” BS is just that. Parents can’t see what their kid is actually doing well in and teachers aren’t really checking either. I was told the grading moved toward 90/10 because 1) less work for teachers and 2) more equitable since many kids weren’t doing homework anyway and it was taking their grade and making them less likely to even try since their grade was already super low and couldn’t be recovered even if they did ok on a test [/quote]
