[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher in Fairfax County. Homework up through grade 6 isn't supposed to be graded. Most teachers in my building assign very little if any hw. I don't see much purpose for assigning it. [/quote] I agree that if homework isn't graded there is no point in assigning it. In fact I think it can have a negative effect if it isn't corrected, because it can reinforce errors. Ideally, I think there should be homework that is corrected so that students misunderstandings can be caught early.[/quote] Homework is for practice and to allow time for research before classroom discussion. When did this become such an issue? Why don't you engage parents and other children with homework? Our teachers have the kids switch papers and grade each other. Doesn't take much time and allows the child to review the problems too. Ask parents to review the homework when it comes home if they can. Make them part of the education program.[/quote]
