[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think it's about policing homework.  With the proliferation of "problem solving" websites, there really is very little benefit of assigning homework.  I'm not sure it's about [b]having to grade the assignment[/b] (you can use a Google form and it's relatively very low burden to teachers).  I think in general teachers don't find it useful anymore because there's no way to suss out whether the student is using a tool to do the homework.  If they are, what is actually the point of going through that effort?  I used to be heavily pro-homework and was appalled with the FCPS policy but as I've experienced with my own two kids, homework assignments are a very intangible measure.[/quote]

I’m definitely not in favor of he being graded. The teacher doesn’t know who did the work or how much assistance was given vs how independent the student was in completing it.

I think turning it in should count as a grade but only a yes or no, not what they got right and wrong. Then review. If a kid cheats, they only cheat themselves. Then when an increasingly difficult problem that would have been in the homework comes up in a quiz or test, it may have helped to practice that.

This isnt difficult. Its accountability. ChatGPT wont be there to answer your test questions that you would have been prepared for if you did the homework. [/quote]
