[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My student's biology grade appears to include classwork and labs, but not homework. [/quote] It’s probably equitable grading policy in practice. No homework “counts” for grading. Perhaps, it’s a good thing. Students have a lot more freedom to decide on how much to practice and on what type of material. [/quote] Homework and assignments with deadlines are sort of part of keeping kids on track and teaching them to manage their time and attention. No?[/quote] True. However, graded homework assignments often force students to spend time on topics they already know well, instead of focusing on topics, where they individually need more practice. If homework is optional, students get to pick what material to focus on. (Also keeping kids on track is, in some sense, the opposite of teaching them how to manage their time. The latter assumes that students have some flexibility on when to learn and what.)[/quote]
