[quote=Anonymous]OP again Just to be clear on my comment above: what I mean by them taking responsibility for the consequences of not doing homework: so homework generally is anywhere from 5-15 percent of their grade. My rule is if they can maintain a B while getting a zero on all of their homework, fine with me. So they do suffer consequences of their decisions. Just wanted to be clear I am not making some kind of "i don't believe in homework" stance and asking the teachers not to hit their grade with zeros for every missing homework assignment. For some kids perhaps mindless repettion IS important. For one of mine who was struggling in that one class, he DID need it (and so he did it) But if the kid does not need it, whats the point? High school kids are young adults-they know the lesson about obeying authority and being respectful of authority already. This is about time management, prioritization, and making informed decisions. It just feels right to me.[/quote]
