[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] [b]But HW doesn't give you that opportunity because you have no idea, as a teacher, whether the kid or the parent did it.[/b] Classwork that is checked to correct misunderstandings? Yes, please![/quote] +1 [/quote] Homework is practice for the child. What do you not understand about it. Not everything is done for your observation.[/quote]
