How would you know that?[/quote]

Because the kids tell me.  They are very open about it.  Some also can't really hide it since they are doing the reading I assigned them 5-7 days prior during announcements. :mrgreen:

Other kids admit to staying up late doing an assignment that should take them 30 minutes because they are chatting with their friends online and playing games while they are doing it.  Again, not conjecture - they tell me this.  I don't take off points on how they get me the work, I grade the quality of the product, there is no reason for them not to be honest.  Of course, I point out that they could have just focused for those 30 minutes and done a better job, which would have earned them a better grade, and then socialized, but all I can do is advise this.  I can't force them to change their habits at home.[/quote]

You're a teacher in deep denial if you think your students don't fib. Typically, most are masters at letting you hear whatever you want to hear. They've learned your game all too well.

We have yet to hear what you imagine is the daily and weekly life of your students (who don't get too much hw). How much sleep do you think they're getting? Sports? All other activities, plus travel time and meals.

No one dares to even speculate how it all realistically gets done.
