[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools should just stop giving homework, period. That addresses the equity issue without anyone getting “free points.” Grade based on class participation, class work, and exams. Voila.[/quote] Homework provides kids with extra practice on skills that they are learning. That practice helps them to master the material. [/quote] Exactly. I'm so disheartened about how actually learning content seems to be so difficult a concept for people to understand. The more I enter into this conversation (as my child begins MS) the more I think that tracking is really the only solution. Let those kids/parents/teachers who actually want to teach and learn the content be together. Let everyone else who is fixated on "equity grading" and "stop giving homework" be together in a different class. [/quote]
